Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property management professional in Page County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Page County will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor 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 landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the 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.
