Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that your property manager in Crystal City performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. 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.

Renters in Crystal City often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush 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 disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes 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 rental investor to build a personal relationship with the owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
