Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Potomac_flats typically ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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