Just bought a duplex and updating one of the units that previously had a heavy smoker.

There's lots of legal reasons you can reject someone - they're obnoxious, rude, pushy, a smoker, associate with drug dealers, etc.

Applicant must be a non-smoker.

Are they smokers?

This time I took photos of them breaking all the house rules-leaving 1.5 hrs late, extra guests, spilled liquids on the floor and some unknown substance staining the sheets, photos of a cigarette box, cigarette butts, cigarette ashes.

I had one with some rooms stripped to the studs (heavy smokers).

When my wife and I were running multiple Airbnbs in Denver, we allowed pot smoking but not cigarette smoking, and the amount of weed left behind -- since they can't fly back with it -- was enough to create our own dispensary.

The tenant’s friend was smoking a cigarette, and it was concluded by the fire department that was the source of the fire.Here’s the rub, tenant doesn’t have renters insurance, let alone one with a fire clause.

It's not in too bad shape, but was a smoker's house and hasn't had any cleaning done in years.Based on a quick walk-through I'm looking at internal painting, minimal external painting, carpet replaced (or removed to get to the hardwood floors where possible), a bunch of minor repairs to things like gutters/eaves/etc.In a perfect world, this relationship would continue to care for the property as issues occur in the future.

@James D Malone I am intrigued by Facebook, but with me rejecting so many interested people immediately (smokers, pit bulls, not enough income, etc.), I'm afraid of personal reprisals.
