Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the 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 landlord at odd hours or with various requests.

 

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