Maricopa residents Euphemia and Sherman Weekes, who founded Crest Premier Properties in 2006, say landlords can run into trouble when they make too many exceptions to a lease, according to InMaricopa.
The company manages about 150 homes, with roughly a quarter of them in Maricopa. In the July issue of InMaricopa, the Weekeses noted that a request to pay rent late, keep a guest longer than expected, or bring in a pet before approval may seem minor at first.
But once a landlord agrees to one exception, the couple says it can become the new expectation. They explain that what started as flexibility can slowly turn into inconsistency, making it harder to enforce the original lease later.
According to the article, Crest Premier Properties encourages owners to use clear standards and consistent communication from the start of a tenancy. The company says that approach helps reduce misunderstandings and makes it easier to maintain professional oversight throughout the rental term.
The article was first published in the July issue of InMaricopa.
