Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Timberville will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 owner at odd 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 tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
