Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that a property management expert in Warren County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the rental investor to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Warren County will often ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to 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 an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take every question to the property owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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