They told me they would reach out to him and remind him of my listing’s house rules which include no smoking and no parties.

First step would be to try to work with the smoking tenant to the point of even providing a smoke eater.

It’s like the battle between cigarettes and E-Cigarettes, the news just destroyed one company due to their exposure and great marketing, but the rest are just cowering behind the “Big guy”.

Their were cigarette burn to the wood floors, where she was using several coffee cans as ash trays, but, had filled them to the point overflow, not only creating  peaks above the top of the cans, but also piles fully surrounding the cans.There couldn't possibly be more?????

In any case, I found the following after she moved out:- Smoke/animal smell throughout the unit (she was a smoker and smoking in the unit was strictly prohibited and dog was allowed per the lease)- Carpet with cigarette burns and soaking wet at the time of removal (no telling how long its been like this)- Rear window has a broken pane (still functional as it is a double pane, but needs to be replaced regardless)- Holes in drywall- Replaced bedroom doorknob with deadbolt (because her middle school son was stealing cigarettes lol)- Backyard full of metal/wood fragments and general rubbish including shoes, a knife, batteries, fishing reels etc. 

At a minimum make sure you have smoke detectors in each bedroom and in the hallway leading to the bedrooms.  

Dear BP Tribe,my friend is opening a smoke shop in phoenix and is ready for everything but is having challenges finding an agent that has the expertise necessary.

We were given a heads up that three of the top items the appraiser will be looking for are code compliant smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and that the water heater is double braced.

Stuff smeared on the walls, hanging from the ceiling, animal bones on the floor, cigarette butts in the sliders of the exterior room windows, kids wrote in toothpaste all over bedroom walls and let it dry, bathroom plumbing all clogged up with all kinds of stuff.  

Seller went to get a certificate of occupancy which reflected it as a 2 family (which is a problem since our lender was expecting it to be a 3 family), and the city then refused to issue a smoke and fire certificate because of the presence of a stove in a unit that wasn't supposed to be a unit.
