If either of you are smokers, I know that's very hard to overcome but a lot of money gets thrown away on that habit.10.

His quote wasn't the lowest but he had good references and didn't reek of cigarette smoke.

You don't want tenants having 2 cars each and bothering the neighbors who then complain and get your rooming house shut down if it violates zoning.Only allow non-smokers.

I started a new paragraph because I was interrupted in the middle of this rant by the owner of the house next store to mine who claims someone from my house was throwing cigarettes onto their rood (yes true indeed).

Nothing smells more "LOW RENT" than pot smoke or stale cigarette smoke in hallways.Nothing looks worse than cigarette butts all over a property on the grounds.No smoking addendum is great if you can do it .

:) On this property I do have a partner but we had already discussed ahead of time, no painting, no smokers, no pets.

None of the tenants have pets and there is only one smoker, who only smokes on the patio and his unit smells great!

I went in after they moved out in the middle of the night with out notice to find black smoke ring all over the wall and melted wax running down the walls in several places even inside the tub.

Marc,15 month's isn't long enough to with-hold a deposit for a new paint coat in entirety, you'd lose that one (unless they smoked cigarettes or crack [seriously] and smoke damaged the property.You could only ensure victory by charging the painting (including prep) cost for the one wall.
