Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Dunn Loring may ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed 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 a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

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