Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that any property manager in Sudley Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

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

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
