Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the 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 landlord at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
