It is rarely a problem because smokers these days are accustomed to not smoking inside.

So we used the High Heat type paint for grills and such and painted the interior black, and just closed the damper and told the tenants that the fireplaces cannot be used.Another option is that you can have them capped off at the top of the chimney.

The last house we just closed on (Friday) was in response to posting an add on Kijiji (Canadian version of Craigslist) saying I was "looking for our next great tenants that will treat the house like their home, must be non smokers, good references, a rental budget of at least $X etc..)".

If they are reported for smoking indoors a second time, I meet the police at the property and evict if there is any evidence.I personally have no animus towards dope smokers but I do not want it bothering neighbors, making someone ill, or ruining my rental.

If you sign up on there (it's all free), you can get updates about the upcoming meetings, speakers, and more.You should also check out the RPOA breakfast meetings every Friday at the Cheshire Grill in Grand Rapids.  

If you have a non-smoking unit you don't want smokers to call...so make sure it's listed. 

Hey guys,I am turning over an apartment that previously had smokers in it so I want to get it deep cleaned.

Electrical work only includes new light fixtures in the property.MEP work excludes everything else:No sewer line repairs, no hot water heater, no new piping, no new HVAC equipment, no new supply air registers/grilles, no new thermostat, no new electrical panel, no new wiring/circuits, no new outlets, no new coverplates.General Exclusions:This estimate also does not include permitting costs or any General Contractor's Overhead and Profit if you are hiring a GC to manage the project which could add 15 to 35%+ to your project costs.In Summary, Don't Use a $ per SF #So when you look at my big long list all of all those exclusions do you still feel comfortable with your estimate at $22/sf? 

I hate smokers, and the biggest reason is they're selfish. 

Within the first 48 hours they asked for a grill.
