Review their lease agreement and addendums.

Do I have to agree to allow a tenant who is notifying me of intent to break lease agreement find a replacement tenant?

Maybe a lease option? 

How about leases?

I would say if you do accept a smoker, make sure your lease outlines the smoking policies (i.e. no smoking in the unit, must be __ft away from the property, etc.) and do regular inspections to ensure your tenants are not smoking in the unit.

Land contract for 2 properties (2 single families) & a combo deal for 2 properties (duplex & downtowm building—store front & loft).

If you want to keep things clear you can get a lease drafted that is room rental specific.

When I have to rent a unit in the fall/winter, I just let the renter know that I prefer leases to end in the spring/summer, and ask them if they’re ok with a bit shorter lease.
