Then you cook and eat, wash your own stuff and take it into your room and lock it up.When they ask about their stuff, you say that you don't know where it is, that you threw all the garbage out because the place needed some cleaning.

Is that like outdoor smokers? 

I recently sold 2 that were older than 1976.1968 2 bed/1 bath for $24,9001970 2 bed/1 bath for $28,000In some areas, you may need to upgrade the home to local code standards.1 - Sheetrock around heater and hot water heater and within 6 inches of cook top.2 - Egress (escape) windows in bedrooms.3 - Electrical - older than 1976 may have aluminum wiring instead of copper and pugs and switches may need to be upgraded.4 - Linoleum may contain asbestos and might need to be removed.Hope all this is clear.

It's like if I go to the restaurant and go into their kitchen and tell the cook how to make my meal, that can't happen.  

Properties are in Cook County IL.Trying to get further insight on this issue before I make a decision and outweigh the potential cost basis, whether it would be worth it.

Can I prohibit smokers from renting one of my apartments, or ask if they are smokers when screening tenants?

The other was a smoker who accidentally set her own sofa on fire. that one has an installed fire suppression system so her's was the only unit damaged and she agreed to reimburse us the damages (over time of course).

Her goose will be cooked later.

I've had a property trashed this way by smokers and their pets and I did need to replace the carpets, but just treating the walls with tea tree oil, then a bleach/water mix, then primer/sealer and paint took care of everything.
