Communications With The Tenant

One of the important services that your property manager in East Falls Church performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in East Falls Church will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional 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 against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the 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 property owner at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
