Communications With The Tenant

One of the most critical duties that a property management expert in North Arlington 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 tip for owners: never share your contact information with the tenant.

Tenants in North Arlington often ask to change lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness 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 disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

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