Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management expert in Baileys Crossroads performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Baileys Crossroads will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord 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 tenant can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with various requests.
