Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Star Tannery typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.
