Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that your property manager in Port Republic performs is providing a level of separation between the tenant and the rental investor. The best practice is for the property owner to avoid any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for landlords: never share your contact information with the tenant.

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

The result of acceding to a seemingly simple favor can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter knows there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will appeal all matters to the property owner, which cost the owner 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 landlord to make objective business decisions in a impersonal manner. Additionally, the tenant can hound or harass a landlord at strange hours or with unreasonable requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the landlord's interests. It's harder to achieve that goal when the tenant is going to ask the landlord to overrule our work.
