Communications With The Tenant

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

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

The result 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 appeal every question to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

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