Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Dayton often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the 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 landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.
