Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary services that a property management expert in Port Royal performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the property owner. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important advice for owners: avoid sharing your contact information with the renter.

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

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

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