Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property management professional in Warren County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share 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 professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can ambush an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is counter to the landlord's own interests.

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

Tenants will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 crazy requests.
