Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that any property management professional in Warren County performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Warren County may ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed property owner at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the landlord's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the rental investor, which cost the landlord 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 owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a owner at strange 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 tenant is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
