Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Alexandria typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner 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 unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
