Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Front Royal will often ask to bend rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules exist. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 protect the owner's interests. It's harder to do that job when the renter is going to ask the landlord to second-guess our work.
