Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property manager in City of Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. 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 tenant.

Tenants in City of Falls Church often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
