Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that your property manager in Fairfax Station performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. 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 tenant.

Renters in Fairfax Station may ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules exist. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters 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 renter can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with various requests.
