Cheers,JessicaHi Jessica, pleased to meet you.You and your husband should first take a yellow tablet, and a pen, and your dreams and go to The Pier Grill & Tackle for dinner.

Choose not to buy the property if you domt like that the tenant is a smoker.

Also....you absolutely can screen the tenants....you are not "forced" to take anyone.To help mitigate the risk of having potential tenants that are "a little rough around the edges I make sure of the following.No Smokers, Period....not even vapers or cigarsNo Drug Users PeriodNO Previous Evictions from within the last 10 yearsNo felonies No pets, period.I have Section 8 tenants in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Alameda County (Oakland, CA) and Contra Costa County (Concord, CA).....and it works.

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

It also meets once a month, always at Michael's Charcoal Grill.

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

That’s right, cutting the grass, gardening, relaxing on the deck, grilling out, etc.

Applicant must be a non-smoker.

Guadalajara Grill has great table side made salsa and food is good.
