Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property manager in Lake Front Royal performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Lake Front Royal may ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into 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 tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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