Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property management professional in Fort Valley performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Fort Valley may ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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