Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property management expert in Centreville performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Centreville will often ask to break lease provisions, 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 landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 rental investor at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the property owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
