Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property management professional in Woodstock performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Woodstock often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

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

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