Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Occoquan performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Occoquan often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
