Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Prince William County may ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules 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 consequence of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

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