Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in McLean performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in McLean 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 exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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