Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property management expert in Manassas Park performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Manassas Park typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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