Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in New Market performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in New Market typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord'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 knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
