Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property management professional in Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Falls Church may ask to break lease provisions, or make 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 weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the 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 property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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