Hello all,I'm interested in purchasing a property currently owned and occupied by someone who smokes like a chimney.  

The standard renters policy covers damage to the rented premises only for the perils of fire, smoke and explosion.

Landlord may deduct reasonable charges from the security deposit for: Damages to the Property, excluding normal wear and tear, and all reasonable costs associated to repair the Property; Costs for which Tenant is responsible to clean, deodorize, exterminate, and maintain the Property; Unpaid rent; unpaid late charges; Unpaid utilities and utility expenses Landlord incurs to maintain utilities to the Property as required by this Lease; Unpaid pet charges; Replacing unreturned keys, garage door openers, security devices, or other components; The removal of unauthorized locks or fixtures installed by Tenant; Landlord’s cost to access the Property if made inaccessible by Tenant; Missing or burned-out light bulbs and fluorescent tubes (at the same location and of the same type and quality that are in the Property on the Commencement Date); Packing, removing, and storing abandoned property; removing abandoned or illegally parked vehicles; Costs of reletting , if Tenant is in default; Attorney’s fees, costs of court, costs of service, and other reasonable costs incurred in any legal proceeding against Tenant; Mailing costs associated with sending notices to Tenant for any violations of this lease;Texas Residential Lease Agreement Any other unpaid charges or fees or other items for which Tenant is responsible under this lease; Cost to restore walls, flooring, landscaping or any alteration to the Property not approved in writing by Landlord; Damages to the Property caused by smoking, including but not limited to stains, burns, odors, and removal of debris; and costs to rekey certain security devices, as provided in Paragraph 19.2.

I don't ever match shutters and doors (personal preference), so I'd either go classic with black shutters and a red door or maybe dark gray shutters with a brighter blue door for a little pop of color.

I wouldn't make such a fuss if he wasn't always late with rent, partial payments, avoids paying late fees, doesn't pay utilities on time (the energy bill still has to be in the owners' name), now i'm getting complaints from neighbors, complaints from the HOA about him smoking weed, etc. 

fire doors, hardwired smoke detectors, extinguishers, etc.)- disabled access requirements- fencing requirmentsI went through this with someone contemplating allowing a full day care on the first floor of a two family and they determined that the cost to make the building compliant outweighed the additional rent. 

Ever since then, he won't let me come and do needed maintenance or repairs (e.g. changing smoke alarm batteries) unless he or his wife are home.

I had a plumber go out there and he said that he smelled it too, but couldn't find the source and recommended doing a smoke test... which costs roughly $600...

It really works well for smoke, pet odors, food odors, etc.
