Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that any property management expert in Lorton performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Lorton typically ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
