Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the 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 rental investor at odd hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
