If they are both smokers then it might not matter as much.How long has this tenant lived in the unit?

I see her tomorrow afternoon. 33 year old divorced insurance broker, no pets, non smoker, has two young kids 50:50 with her ex.

Turns out it's a South Asian tenant, whose wife likes to home cook, frequently making lentil soup.

"Marijuana smokers," or smokers in general, are not a protected class-therefore not discrimination

Secondhand smoke does not hold water in court, not even talk about a room that HAD a smoker.

Take ownership of the property and on that day, give the dope smokers a 30 day notice (or 15 day or whatever the law stipulates). 

Great topic, and yes, screen him, you don't want to find him cooking meth in the bathroom...

My smokers above had been really good tenants until drugs entered the picture, so some things are out of your control.

So I think that by you wanting to please the upset tenant so much, she is going to be come more of a nuisance to you than the smoker!

And we all know how cigarette smoke clings to everything, including the smoker, so certainly the apartment's smell is not evidence of smoking.I don't want my tenants smoking in my building, but I'm not sure that such a restriction is enforceable.
