Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in City of Falls Church may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner 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 renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.
