Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property 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 owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
