Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property manager in Orkney Springs performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Orkney Springs will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take all matters to the property owner, 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.
