Handily smokers are not protected classes in Fair Housing.Again, personally speaking, if some idiot wants to light cigarettes near an oxygen tank they can blow themselves up somewhere else and in someone elses property.

We figure if someone puts a cigarette out into the floor, it just looks like another knot.. haha Ask me how I know!!

It has already been redone nicely inside/outside but I'm told it has a mild cigarette smell somehow.

Boom, you just spend 15 grand easy.Now a tenant moves out and the kitchen cabinets doors are falling off, the cabinets are rotted and the horrible yellow vinyl flooring screens 70's + 40 years of abuse and cigarette stains, and the kitchen cabinets are rotted under the sink and the counter needs to be replaced anyway.

Especially here in Canada when it gets cold they will fill that thing with a cigarette smoke smell that never goes away.

In 2011 my wife walked into small 1950s cape style house that reeked from 60 years of cigarette smoke and fell in love with the property.

I would feel the same way about cigarettes which are legal.I just view the security deposit as being there for you to recoup costs associated with re-renting the unit.

I am always amazed though that when tenants are behind, they always seem to keep their cell phones on and cigarettes in their pocket

I could detect the smell in the bathroom, but it was not overpowering, and I couldn't detect any cigarette smell in any other part of the house.Confession time was over, I proceeded with inspection.  

If you're paying beer and cigarette money wages or hiring the guy whose the cheapest, you get what you get.
