Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property manager in Potomac Yard performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Potomac Yard will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the owner 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.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
