Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property management expert in Fairfax Station performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fairfax Station typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
