Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Virginia Hills may ask to break lease provisions, or make 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 ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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