Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Baileys Crossroads may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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