Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Port Republic will often ask to bend lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there in the first place. A renter can catch an uniformed owner at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to give into a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will take every question to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the rental investor 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 owner at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.
