Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Fairfax typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor 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 renter can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
