Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Clifton will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The result of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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