Thats probably because most of their cash was spent on cigarettes, delivered pizza, and other fast food cartons I see in their trash bins.Unreal!

The deferred maintenance was significant- 3/4 of the roof needed replaced, the hallways were incredibly dirty, 3 vacant units that needed complete rehab, residents had anything from holes in their ceiling to faucets shut off because they were leaking so badly, landscaping overgrown and/or dead, and the entire building smelled like cigarettes and urine.

The lower tenant caused the fire in that a cigarette was the source of the fire.

Only so much someone will pay, you tack on those fees and airbnb or VRBO fees and the markup is starting to look like the markup on cigarettes

This helps you keep an eye on the property when it's vacant as well as ensure if your tenants are following your house rules.We use Minut noise monitors, which can also detect motion, temperature, humidity, and cigarette smoke.If you have central heat and AC, a Nest thermostat can be an option too if you want to set limits on the temperatures since you're paying the utilities. 

If the applicant reeks of cigarettes, they are not for me. 

Smoking inside my apartment was rampant, didn’t know it would leave an almost permanent smell of cigarette smoke inside the apartment (or maybe the smell was already there when we moved in and we didn’t complain).

You just hope they do it outside.Tell them to just make sure they put extinguished cigarette butts in a trash bag outside.

She also left cigarette butts in the house which i sent her a cease letter for but can’t prove if shes still smoking in the house.

There was more bodegas selling cigarettes, lottery tickets and high fructose corn syrup juices than supermarkets with fresh fruits and vegetables.
