Handling interactions with a renter in Virginia Hills
One of the most critical duties that your property management professional in Virginia Hills performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.
Tenants in Virginia Hills will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.
The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord time and effort.
Renters 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
We're paid to be your protect the property owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
