A lot of times they will say no.....I then will say, I'm not being difficult but I will ask for clarification, because this is in all of our leases....ANYTHING means, cigars, cigarettes, mar%ua7na, vaping, bongs or e-cigarettes.

The guy who is 'buying' it from us bumped her rent 25% & given the rent was below mkt she had no problem paying the increase.The neighbors call her the 'smokin hoarder broad' because the home is full of fridge magnets & she is the ultimate chain smoker.

You can also use the Minut sensor does a ton of stuff including cigarette smoke, noise etc.https://www.minut.com/enIt is considered the standard for STR monitoring.

I've already been down that road with pot smokers. 

I'm debating buying a 3 unit where the existing tenant in the top unit clearly smokes in the unit (cigarette in ash tray in listing photo).

Oh, and taking cigarette breaks.I also paid them close to 30K.

I have spot sanded  and recoated but that was for cigarette burns. 

If it's not specifically written in law that you can't do something, then you can.I learned that when I was creating my lease and had a question regarding smokers.

This family is currently searching for a home, and our agent, who also represents them, has generously offered to waive any commission for connecting us.After outlining our standard tenant qualifications—which encompass application requirements, income verification, rental history, credit score, background checks, a non-smoker policy, occupancy guidelines, pet policy, application fees, and move-in costs—our agent indicated that the extensive discussions and adherence to these requirements "equals a full commission of one month's rent."

Please keep in mind even a level 4 is the same as smoking 8 cigarettes a day or getting 200 x rays.
