Communications With The Tenant

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

Renters in Warren County often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can ambush an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Tenants 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 odd hours or with crazy requests.
