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 landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

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

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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