Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that any property management professional in Luray performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Luray may ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner 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 rental investor at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

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