Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property manager in Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Falls Church will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 property owner at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
