Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
