Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Potomac_yard performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Potomac_yard typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.
