Communications With The Tenant

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

Tenants in Port Republic may ask to change rules, or ask for other special requests. The property management professional knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions exist. A tenant can ambush an uniformed landlord at a moment of weakness causing the landlord to grant a request that is against the owner's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the rental investor to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 property owner at strange hours or with various requests.

 

We're paid to be your protect the landlord's interests. It's harder to do that job when the tenant is going to ask the rental investor to overrule our work.
