Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that a property manager in Annandale performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Annandale often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

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

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

 

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