Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management expert in Prince William County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Prince William County typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of giving into 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 appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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