Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in McLean often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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