We pulled those out (all the previous tenants were indoor cigarette smokers so all drywall had to be removed from the entire property).   

Able-bodied men (and women, I'm EEO ;) ) sitting around midday, smoking cigarettes and drinking Mt.

Nate, I have been down this road with long term smoker tenants that have moved on.

Paint the smoker ceiling, paint the paneling.

Also, the owner was a very heavy smoker and the place is absolutely nasty.

Another cliche is the best way to triumph in a lawsuit is to avoid it in the first place.What I am more concerned about are frivolous lawsuits, such as a tenant blaming his emphysema on some non-existant mold at my property and not the 3 packs of cigarettes he smokes daily.

No cigarette in hand, because as soon as he sees my screen door open, he stubs out his cig.When they (the smoker guy and his girlfriend) signed the lease, I reiterated to them very strongly that there is no smoking allowed anywhere on the premises, and they initialed that page of the lease that includes the no smoking clause, in italics.  

They can pay me $25/hr AND as a result, they can’t buy their giant fountain pop from the gas station on the way, or a couple less packs of cigarettes, one less trip through the drive through, or no fancy nails this month.

Very few places do and you could probably charge a premium and reduce turnover plus when someone leaves it’s not like you have to completely renovate it if you get another smoker.  

Then it moved to the bunk beds, where it was on everything as well.The bathroom on that floor had **** smeared on the walls.The basement had puke in a food container that was pushed under the couch to hide it's shame.The interior porch had hookah and cigarettes on the floor, with burn marks on the tables, flooring, and chairs.The exterior porch had garbage strewn everywhere, from leftover food, to more smoking stuff, to shards of glass.Cleaners: "I'm not going in that garage, i think someone died in there" "What makes you say that?"
