Outdoor Smokers.... thoughts?

[Jon K.]

This is a shared living situation, with me as the roommate sharing property.

My policy has been "no smokers, no way."

I keep getting smokers inquire, even though I put "no smokers" in the ad.

A few have even come and seen the place, seemed like decent matches, then finally they said "I sometimes smoke outside only."

Nexttttt....

What are your thoughts on outdoor smokers?

How much smell would a smoker who smokes outside bring in the house?

I find that if you allow smoking outside - they WILL smoke out their window. It happens ALL THE TIME. Seriously. All the time. The window sills of my vinyl windows are covered in small burn marks. Then, the tenant moves from leaning out the window to just having the window open. Then to just smoking inside.

I'd set a 30 ft restriction around the property. Make it highly inconvenient for them.

Those are my 2 cents anyways!
