Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Woodbridge often ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

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

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