Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property manager in Virginia Hills performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Virginia Hills typically ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against 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 tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner 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 renter can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
