Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that a property management professional in Fairfax_ridge performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fairfax_ridge typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

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