Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Warren County typically ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

Renters 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 tenant can hound or harass a property owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

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