Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical services that any property management professional in Frederick County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Frederick County often ask to bend rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question 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 owner. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at unreasonable hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to do that job when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
