Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management professional in Lake Frederick performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Lake Frederick may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the landlord 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 landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
