Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property management expert in Virginia Village performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Virginia Village often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. 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.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
