Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Strasburg typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
