Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property management professional in Dunn Loring 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 advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Dunn Loring often ask to change lease provisions, 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 ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

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