Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property manager in Woodbridge 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 renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Woodbridge may ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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