Do you Email Documents to your tenants

[Paul Crowson]

I always prefer to do all documents in person, and make the time to obtain the signatures in person. But to make copies for them and myself, it is much more convenient to do the email thing, even though I don't prefer it, some times the tenants are all about emails and such. But those that are, for me, I have found they pepper me a whole lot about all of their concerns, and some even make demands by email, sending me pictures of roaches, salamanders, leaking faucets etc.

What about you? How much discretion do you use as to how to handle the dialogue with your tenants when documents are involved? Would like to hear back from you.

I can understand those wanting to use email, I'd rather not, but depends on the tenant too.

Yes, I had email lending, I did not email documents, I'd rather do things in person or by snail mail.

Anything you send them they will have forever, you could make a comment or agree to a one time matter and that can pop up again if you failed to be explicit on that one time matter or be construed as your policy. Not to mention, someday you could be in a bad mood. I'd think long and hard about what I emailed, it won't get lost, the dog won't eat it, it won't go through the wash or meet any natural demise, it hangs out there forever. Just be careful and prudent. :)
