Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management expert in Alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Alexandria may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
