Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important duties that your 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 rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Tenants in Port Republic typically ask to break lease provisions, or ask for other special requests. The property manager knows the lease and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can ambush an uniformed owner at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is counter to the property owner's own interests.

The result of giving into what appears to be simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is an opportunity to appeal, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the property owner time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. Personal feelings can make it much harder for the property owner to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the renter can hound or harass a rental investor at odd hours or with unreasonable requests.
