Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Whitacre performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Whitacre may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take 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 rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
