Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property management professional in Flint Hill performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Flint Hill typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 property owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
