Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Warren County will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will appeal every question to the property owner, 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 property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a property owner at unreasonable hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the property owner to second-guess our work.
