Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Chantilly often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

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

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
