Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that a property manager in Port Republic performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the owner. The best practice is for the owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Port Republic will often ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions exist. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the rental investor, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters 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 rental investor to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at unreasonable hours or with various requests.
