Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Warren County performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the property owner. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in Warren County will often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Renters 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 rental investor at strange hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to second-guess our work.
