Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that your property management professional in Woodbridge performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for property owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Woodbridge will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the property owner. 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 strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

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