Prior relationship can be established with multiple communications over a reasonable amount to time.

I totally agree that it is not worth it but after my first decline, the communication already went down hill very rapidly.

We set up a laptop in the office which read the meters by radio waves and communicated to their office. 

On top of that, tenant does not respond to any communication regarding payments or the unit in general. 

Ultimately, I would communicate with the tenant if you have a good relationship with them to minimize any confusion around when they need to vacate.

A good Property Manager should lay out the triggers of communication and the expectation of timeframes on such events as turnover, collections, response times on emails, renewals, and overall just communication.  

In our case, we have a 3rd party property manager who helps us find tenants and deals with and communicates with tenants on daily basis, so really they should be called tenant assistants.

Agents should assume or ask you if you are interviewing other agentsThird  Consider the experience and level of confidence you feel about themFourth getting your price is important to youFifth   The number of listings  aka inventory and direction of the market indicates a confidence level that lenders are comfortable withSixth Open and regular communication with the agent you select is important

If this is the quality of your communication you need to rethink and clarify everyone’s expectations.

Either I suck at communicating or people misunderstand my posts.
