Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that your property manager in White Post performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in White Post will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
