Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Front Royal may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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