Whenever an applicant started out with requesting a discount, or complaining about this or that, or asking or demanding that we provide this or that (from blackout curtains to guarantees of never smelling cigarette smoke...), I learned over many years and many tenants that this is a tenant I will have wished I'd never rented to.So, take it from me, if there is any way you can deny this applicant, do it. 

I went inside the house a year ago to fix something and it stinks to heck of cigarettes.

People can spend $5 per day on cigarettes or drugs, so they have money.Also, a lot of elderly people are living on social security. 

The house was beach pink with doors falling off, crap all in the yard, smelled like a cigarette, moldy carpet glued to the sidewalk outside, etc... after we finished making it beautiful and white, pulling carpet and sealing sidewalk with a nice color, landscaping, etc, a lady teacher yelled "thank you, that really transforms the look around here, we appreciate all your work".That was cool.

Oh wait, and there were cigarettes once....But, it's usually flushable wipes because the TV says they can flush flushable wipes, which would seem reasonable. 

Second of all, you did not even smell cigarette and notice color faint on the wall paint?

I went into the unit twice in the past couple weeks for showings and both times it had a strong odor of cigarettes.  

However, we were in the facility (dealing with a so called mice problem by them) a couple days prior and noticed that they had cigarette butts in their rooms in huge ash trays and all smoke detectors had been removed and obviously it smelled like smoke.  

., and the only reason they are broke is because they blow all of their money at the casinos, and on cigarettes and going out to eat or to the bars, etc.If you go ahead and raise her rent to market rent, she will cope.  

I can tell you no smoking weed/or cigarettes allowed in my 2 rentals and if so they can hit the road.
