Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Virginia Hills may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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