Jack or Madison , rankin rentals but not SoJAC.so stand by we peeled 100 of the two hundred this guy fouled up off.. there will be another 100 homes coming up..

X who puts her nose 1 inch from the doorknob and smells it, then proclaims the whole house smells like smoke is very different than a true permeating odor of smoke throughout the unit.Having others come over and smell for it will give you (some kind of) an idea if it need to be abated (or not).Offering to let them out of the lease before move in (if turned down) seems to nullify the need to (try to) abate the smoke smell.

I called her to inform her that my neighbors from downstairs are smoking and the odor is going upstairs (to my apartment) and she rejected my call.
