Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property manager in West McLean performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in West McLean may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
