Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that a property management professional in Haymarket performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Haymarket typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your protect the property owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
