Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management professional in South Arlington performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in South Arlington will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the property owner to overrule our work.
