Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property manager in Frederick County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Frederick County may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to 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 renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
