Every problem tenant I've ever had has been a smoker. 

What are your thoughts on outdoor smokers?

Other than the cigarette butts and the broken glass, how else is their activity affecting you?

I've had tenants put out their cigarettes on the wood floor.

Maybe they were smokers too?

Add a 50$ late fee that’s hopefully outlined in the lease and for good measure put a post it note slapped on the notice of the door too ..thanking them for the extra 50 bucks and how you’ll likely just spend it frivolously on something like cigarettes and beer for Christmas

Just like you can choose to not rent to a smoker, an insurance company can choose to not insure a homeowner/renter with a pit bull.  

I carefully explained that I needed the box of 36 diapers, that it was our last $20 until payday which was still 5 days away and yes, the baby would really need this many diapers for 5 days.He came home with a smaller bag of 20 diapers, a 12 pack and 2 packs of cigarettes. 

In all fairness to K MArie Poe great post writer on the original thread.the original couple that went ga ga over the shower head ended up having to break their lease after 10 months they could no longer afford the rent. they did provide fair warning and did their best to clean up the apartment.and were understanding when I did not return their security deposit.Moreover, they were never a day late with their rent.they left the place rather stinky due to a rotten potato in the cabinet which went unnoticedand I spent 3 weeks cleaning the place to get rid of the stinky weed and cigarette smell.the other first tenant was a nightmarehe paid on time and was clean but did he complain about every single little thing.since those renters moved outI have had no problems from the subsequent tenantsThe difference was that the second tenants moved into a place withall the appliances in place. including dishwasherOverall I think I will always strive to offer more for the same dime. whenever possible.fyiand the no vacancy piece I think is a testament to the business model

a little extreme in my book.they pay their rent early and now just because you found some cigarette butts, POSSIBLE paraphenelia, and they (OMG!!!)
