Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property management expert in Frederick County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Frederick County will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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