Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Virginia Run The Estates performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Virginia Run The Estates typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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