Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management expert in Burke performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Burke often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
