Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property manager in Woodbridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Woodbridge typically ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.
