Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Townes_of_shirlington may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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