Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Warren County will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

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