Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that any property manager in Oakton performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Oakton may ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property 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 property owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
