Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that your property management expert in North Arlington performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for landlords: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in North Arlington typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional 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 landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the rental investor, 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a rental investor at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
