Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Woodville performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. 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 renter.

Renters in Woodville often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the 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 rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.
