Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property manager in Rosslyn performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Rosslyn will often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with unreasonable 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 property owner to overrule our work.
