Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property manager in Fort Valley performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Fort Valley often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
