Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Warren County typically ask to break rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the renter will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the owner time and effort.

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

 

We're paid to be your defend the owner's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to overrule our work.
