Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management professional in Northern Virginia 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 renter. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Northern Virginia often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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

 

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