The house was covered in 60 years of cigarette smoke and wood paneling so we had some challenges.

Currently analyzing a rental property with a tenant who is a heavy cigarette smoker.

It is an unsightly alteration and no doubt reeks of cigarette smoke.

But if it has a nasty 60 year old gross kitchen with cigarette stains in the paint, but all the old/gross things in the kitchen technically work, and you plan to upgrade while living there to a gorgeous modern kitchen?

Flowers are pretty but we used hanging pots from porch so didn't have to worry about cigarette butts in pots or them getting knocked over. 

The carpet was brand new.  3 years they lived there and there hundreds(not exaggerating) of cigarettes burn holes in it  and muiltiple places where they cut huge squares out, I suspect they actually caught it on fire.  

Turned out one of our tenants had burned their apartment down- total loss of property, was fortunate in that it was largely contained to one apartment(cigarette in the kitchen garbage can, then out to dinner, those fools.)

If you find the source of the fire then you'll know if it's fault wiring or a cigarette butt, or ?? 

The walls are yellow with cigarette smoke.

It will also create a lingering burning metal smell in the garage...do you allow cigarette smoking in the garage?
