Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property manager in Fairfax Oaks performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fairfax Oaks will often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take 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 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 odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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