Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical 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 deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in City of Falls Church often ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 property owner at odd 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 renter is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
