Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that any property management expert in 22124_ performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in 22124_ often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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