Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property manager in Woodbridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Woodbridge often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

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

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