Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property manager in Prince William County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Prince William County typically ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 property owner at odd hours or with various requests.
