Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property management professional in Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Falls Church will often 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 tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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