Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Fairlington performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Fairlington typically ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
