Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management professional in Dale City 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 rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Dale City may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 landlord at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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