Communications With The Tenant

One of the primary duties that any property management expert in Port Republic performs is providing a level of separation between the renter and the landlord. The best practice is for the landlord to deny any direct contact with the tenant. Important tip for rental investors: avoid sharing your contact information with the tenant.

Renters in Port Republic typically ask to change lease provisions, or make other special requests. The property management expert knows the rules and knows why the lease provisions are there. A tenant can catch an uniformed rental investor at a moment of ignorance causing the rental investor to grant a request that is against the rental investor's own interests.

The consequence of giving into what appears to be simple request can be disastrous. Furthermore, once the renter believes there is a higher authority to appeal to, the tenant will take every question to the property owner, which cost the owner time and effort.

Tenants will use contact with the owner to build a personal relationship with the landlord. 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 rental investor at odd hours or with crazy requests.

 

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