Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management professional in Dale City 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 advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Dale City will often ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager 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 rental investor to give into a request that is against the property owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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

 

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