Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Middletown typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the rules are there. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

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

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