Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property manager in Burke performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Burke often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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