While you may not be able to directly prevent them from vaping, if there is damage caused by it your lease will have you covered.

A week later, a service technician at Amazon Web Services threw the wrong switch by mistake and half the Internet went down for a few hours (AWS says changes were made to prevent this from happening again).

@Paige Roberts I would modify your lease to prevent this in the future.

Well you guessed it, one sewer line replacement later due to root balls I learned a lesson.Where am I going with this?

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

I NEVER, EVER sign a lease ahead of time, just to prevent monkey business like this. 

Of course, the potential for appreciation is 4% easily a year or even 10% in these areas but again the numbers show a market that is not rooted in reality.

An ounce of prevention, here.

For the future, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I don't want sexism to prevent me from bettering my life, but this is really dissuading me from continuing.
