DO NOT advertise on zillow or hotpads because the people do not read the ad or even the headline..they get a notification on their phone a rental is available and a phone number and then they just call you or email you....When you advertise on Section8.com and CL....I put in the very first lineNo FeloniesNo EvictionsNo smokers of any kind ....not even cigarettes or MJYou can have 1 pet but no dangerous breeds of pets, I.E. no pit bulls, no mastiffs, no snakes, etcNo illegal drug users.For both my rentals where I got to screen the tenants I had the phone ringing off the hook.

We spend more on beer, coffe, cigarettes, or Macdonalds.

I already know when going into a place that if it smells like candles, febreeze or ozone, that there is probably weed, cigarettes, or pets that was there before.

It's the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and most of the kansas city area is generally above the average EPA allowable limit.

You can discriminate against smokers, University of Alabama fans, overweight people, Yankees, liberals, conservatives, and Bigger Pockets members, so long as it isn't cover for discriminating against a protected class.

Have rules spelled out beforehand & decide if you want non-smokers in ur house.

After meeting with the three inherited tenants we soon realized that one seems to be a "professional tenant" (only has a verbal lease, pays $100 less than market rent, and works for a local property management company; which leads me to believe he knows his rights as a tenant and won't budge on anything unless it directly benefits him)The second tenant appears to be a chronic complainer, and the third tenant seems to be no problem at all.I received a call today from the second tenant notifying me that the "professional tenant" who lives below him, is smoking weed and cigarettes in his unit and the smell is travelling to the upper unit and has been affecting his health and quality of living.Apparently in Ontario, smoking in a unit is not grounds for eviction, even if it was stated in a signed lease agreement.

@Nathan GomesExcept al the low income folks by me all have big TVs and gaming systems and laptops, etc. if they can buy cigarettes and beer, they can handle $15/month for ins

On Dogs, I choose to adopt the advise of the book and forbid any pets owners and smokers.

We have a property that was occupied by life long smokers.
