Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property manager in City of Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in City of Falls Church typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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