Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property management expert in Fairfax Woods performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Fairfax Woods often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
