Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property management professional in Virginia_chase performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Virginia_chase will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
