Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your property manager in Belle View performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Belle View typically ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.
