Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property management professional in Mayfair Of Mclean performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Mayfair Of Mclean often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property 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 landlord at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
