New to this forum and needed some advice. I currently rent a 2 story house in the Richmond area. Property management company found a new tenant for me, company asked me what utilities needed to be set up. I told them, as well as trash days pick up days, etc..
Advised them that I would provide the new tenants with a passcode and password for the alarm that I pay for. 10 minutes later, I get a call from the property management company telling me about the alarm and that I would have to remove it or disconnect it if they don't want it, and that they have to set up their own passcodes and passwords. Keep in mind I have my own master code and password. The concern I have is is when I contacted the alarm company previously they advised its better for the landlord to provide it,since they have had previous issues where tenants have either removed the landlord's master code or password and when an issue arises the landlord is stuck. Keep in mind, I don't come to the house unless you call with an issue or to change the air filter.
Anyone ever here of a property management company/tenant telling a property owner to remove an alarm system or disconnect it? (since I was still still under contract, I'm not paying termination fees or having an increase in price to reactivate. Basically told them, if the tenant doesn't want to use it they don't have to, just like the current tenants, who don't use it at all.)
The property management company works for you. You say what's what and they do what you tell them or dump them. Doesn't matter what kind of experience anybody else has with property management companies.
100% agree. If this is a concern coming from the applicant, they should communicate that, not TELL YOU how it has to be. Even then, it's up to you how to handle it.
This is your home, they should be thankful you're paying them to do what they do, they need to do things your way.
Easy. Just tell the tenant no. Tenants don't get to have everything on their dream list. Exactly like homeowners don't get to have everything on their dream list.
It's a bit silly to resist the landlord having your security system code. He has the keys to the door and can legally enter any time he wants to as long as he gives you a 24 hour notice. You can not legally keep the landlord out.
