Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Clifton typically ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the 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 renter can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
