The detached SFR used to have a tenant that smoked more than a year an a half ago, since then I've had another tenant live in the unit with no complaints (we made sure after the smoker moved out to clean and paint the entire house to cover the smell).Should I let this new tenant go under a 'Happy clause'? 

I have a nice charcoal grill.Easier to clean, I never run out of gas (renters are responsible for charcoal) I hate cleaning my gas grill at home, to many parts to disassemble.When your on vacation you have more time to relax and a charcoal grill just feels like vacation.Good thing I have spell check, I had charcoal spelled 3 different ways.

Second, I'd like to add an outdoor grill island. 

All the floor boards are swollen from pet droppings and theres a stench from it along with her being an indoor smoker.

Debt to Income - not greater than 45% which includes the rent   Employment - Less than a year, 1-3 years and over 3 years - stability is given higher points  Smoker loses points - smoking is prohibited on the property, but the clothes reeking of smoke does require more work when they move out.

If you go to home depot and spend $500 on materials, but don't have the receipt, how would the IRS know you did not purchase a new grill or patio furniture for yourself.

(Indoor smoker)-Either paint or replace all the drywall (again because of the smoking)-Replace the water heater.

You don't want to rent to smokers?

Cat urine is way worse than smokers.
