Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management professional in Fairfax Station 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 renter. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Fairfax Station 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 tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the owner 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at odd hours or with crazy requests.
