Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management professional in Watergate Of Alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Watergate Of Alexandria may ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
