HOWEVER  ...... when I  sent a contractor over for a few minor violations (smoke detectors), electrical lights out..... 

The two neighbors that we've met have both complained about them, saying they smoke marijuana in the garage and are generally "rowdy" (kids throwing rocks at cars, garage seems to be some sort of default "hangout") in an otherwise nice family neighborhood.  

We all know areas like Rockville, Silver Springs, Bethesda, etc.... wont be an issue but going further out towards Baltimore there must be a line in which the fundamentals of some areas will cause them to be affected more in a down cycle.I was in CA in the last down cycle so I don't know how this area was truly affected. 

@Chris Morey Plenty of successful people I know smoke a little bit of weed here and there, so there's nothing wrong with it.

I am interested in being able to add addendum's to the lease as well (pet policy, smoking, crime, etc...).

My worst experience was driving to my three decker at 2am to try to figure out why the smoke detectors kept all going off at the same time in the middle of the night.

There was tons of trash in the yard, and cigarette smoke on the walls inside.  

BP has all the information on real estate served up on a silver platter.

(say for instance smoking or having pets on the property when they are not supposed to)Didn't know the law concerning it and wanted to know if I can just add on that violation fee without a written warning first.
