Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Mason Neck often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord 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 a disaster in the long run. 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.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the property owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor 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.
