Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property management professional in Alexandria performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Alexandria may ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the owner 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
