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 renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the owner to deny any direct contact with the renter. Important advice for property owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Port Republic typically ask to break rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management expert knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal every question to the rental investor, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 property owner at unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.
