Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Annandale may ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants 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 renter can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

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