Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property management expert in Alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

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

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. 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 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 tenant can hound or harass a landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.
