Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management expert in Port Republic performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the landlord to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Port Republic will often ask to change rules, or make other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the rules are there in the first place. A tenant can catch an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is counter to the owner's own interests.

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take all matters to the landlord, which cost the rental investor 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 tenant can hound or harass a owner at strange hours or with crazy requests.
