Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that a property manager in Shenandoah County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the renter. Important tip for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Shenandoah County may ask to break lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the landlord, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 odd hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

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