Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Dayton may ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
