Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Whitacre performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Whitacre 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 renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

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