It is a non-smoking building.

Do they smoke?

100% agree with Nathan's criteria.If even after those criteria you have more than 1 qualified applicant, you have a few other options, as long as you apply the same requirements equally to everyone.I verify employment, and call previous landlords for references.If on the showing the tenant smells like smoke and you don't want smokers in your house, you could pass over somebody for that. 

Depends on the unit and the current tenant.....If the current tenant is reasonable, clean etc and the turnover is basically going to be few quick fixes and clean, then I'll market it early..If the place is a mess....tenant is a PITA...or I need some time to do some bigger work that will not be "appreciated" by new applicants...ie the unit will look way different and "better" with the new floor/paint/cabinets etc.... then I'm not showing it until that's done.... few tenants can see "beyond" what is in front of them NOW and as a tenant I would never commit to what it "may" be... unless the market s smoking hot and I'm desperate.....

Tenant (s) shall not smoke, nor permit anyone to smoke, inside the property at any time.

The latest thing, I wake up to a bevy of pictures of fire truck lining the street of the old block because they called the fire department on one of the neighbors that were smoking meats.

I knit, read, work out, smoke meats in my 2.5 smokers and enjoy watching moves.

Any tips on how to get cigarette smell out of house?

Hey All, One of my tenants complained that the new next door neighbor (not a tenant of mine or anything) smokes a  lot of weed and that the smoke is getting in the house when they leave the AC on so it's been a nightmare for theme these past couple of days.Any ideas what to do in this case?

I have just sent my first "You'll be here soon" email to the first visitor, who will be arriving in two days.We are doing all of our final safety checks, such as adding carbon monoxide detectors to the existing smoke detectors, putting in the child protective outlet covers around the property.
