Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in West McLean typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord 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 landlord 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.
