@Patrick M.   This tenant( Let's call him Andy)   Andy is not a nice person, he seemed rough!   I would not want to get things out my hand.  Andy is a self claimed entrepreneur which does not have any support evidence. By the fact, Andy is in his late 30s and recently lost his son over a car accident. (felt bad for him)   He is sitting on large amount cash in his bank account and claim to make over 10k a month.   He seemed had hard time to move around or simply lazy, every time i am at the house, he did not bother to get up to say hi.  And Just half way laying on the coach surrounded himself with dirty cloth.   Totally Weird!   Those kind of people irritates me.   

Thanks@Kyle J.

@Brendon WoirhayeThanks for advise, the lease itself included language in such prohibiting smoking and pets within the premises of the property.  

I have been a landlord for past 4 years. One of my rental became aviable this April. I met this mid age woman at the property and she seems nice at that time.  Dressed appropriate for the showing, saying it would be her and her boyfriend will be renting.   Things got weird and complicated as time goes on.  

At first, she handed me the deposit dressed up very trailer trash. I saw a pack of cigarette in her purse, so i asked her if anyone smoked, She said her by only smoked outside. and she promised.   Since they are paying 6 month ahead time for the rent. 

At second, when it is time to sign the lease and move in,  they blewed me off saying they forgot. Then asked to reschedule on the same day afternoon,  we signed the lease (non smoking  pet free unit)   

Today, they called me up to asking to check on the AC.  The bf (guy) sounded awfully rude, and questioned if i hire professionally licensed specialist.  I told him Yes  and warned him to not talk to me that way!!   After checked the property, The AC worked fine.  The guy was complaining about the air is not cold enough for his standard.    ( i turned on the AC, the ac unit inside and outside worked just fine. everything worked) .  The whole basement smelled like smoke, and he definitely smoke in the garage. There are dog food bowl and water inside and outside.  When i confirmed with them, they were giving me some bs. (my brother's dog is visiting, and he is only smoking outside)   

This is rough!!!!!   I have never met a dishonest tenant like that!   so discouraging to be a young landlord. 

Please give me some advise.
