Communications With The Tenant

One of the most important services that any property management professional in Port Republic performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the landlord. The best practice is for the rental investor to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing 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. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of weakness causing the property owner to grant a request that is counter to the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of acceding to what appears to be simple request can be a disaster in the long run. Furthermore, once the tenant believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the landlord, which cost the landlord time and effort.

Renters will use contact with the landlord to build a personal relationship with the owner. 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 odd hours or with various requests.
