Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Woodville may ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the owner 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
