Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property manager in Seven Corners performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Seven Corners may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

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

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a owner at odd hours or with various requests.
