Communications With The Tenant

One of the important duties that your property management professional 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 tenant. Important tip for rental investors: never share your contact information with the renter.

Renters in Port Republic often ask to bend lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property manager knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A renter can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the property owner to give into a request that is against the 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 a higher authority to appeal to, the renter will appeal all matters to the owner, which cost the rental investor time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the property owner to build a personal relationship with the rental investor. 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 unreasonable hours or with crazy requests.

 

We're paid to be your defend the rental investor's interests. It's more difficult to achieve that goal when the renter is going to ask the owner to second-guess our work.
