Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property management professional in Gainesville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

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

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor 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 property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with various requests.

 

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