Absolutely no smoking of any type indoors.

And then, only if the reason you are suing has to do with money.The baby daddy moves in, they park all crazy blocking other tenants, there are knock down drag out fights and the cops get called, they smoke cigarettes in the unit against the rules and drop cigarettes all over the carpet, resulting in burns everywhere - or a burned down apartment building, on and on.  

its a disarming question that identifies if there are smokers as not everyone is forthcoming about being a smoker and might smoke in your unit despite your non-smoking policy.

For those that are allowed to require electronic payments, is this something you would disclose to an applicant like the allowance of pets or smoking, or after they have been qualified?

Currently I;Get a signed leaseGive them a lead-based paint disclosure or email it to themMake sure there are appropriate smoke & CO2 detectors and have a signed form.

Tell him if he tampers with it again you will be forced to terminate his lease.Heating, cooling, fire, smoke, carbon monoxide and ventilation systems etc. are part of the basic operating systems of a home designed to protect the structure.

If you keep the property up, and do inspections every 6 months, change smoke detector batteries, meet codes, etc., I can't imagine anyone having a multi-million dollar successful suit against you.  

I don't know what the heck John Anderson is smoking..  

Some items mentioned include: - Don't pour grease, oils, rice or pasta of any kind down the disposal because it gums up the pipes leading to a clogged sink- Do run hot water down the drain for 30 or 45 seconds after use to help clear the drain after use.I do the same with a quick explanation on how to change out smoke detector batteries (when you install the 10 year, there's no need unless it is defective) the size of the air filter and how often to change it and how to change it out, how to operate the HVAC thermostat to heat or cool the unit.

So, be quick - check the smoke detector batteries, check for leaks under the sinks, do a quick look to see if there is any mold that needs to be cleaned up, see if the toilet is running or the window a/c unit is leaking into the building, ask the tenants if there are any maintenance issues you need to address -- and get out of there.In the building I managed, we only did inspections every 6 months and did them in one morning really quickly - 26 units - bam, bam, bam.I now have to put up with quarterly inspections in the senior subsidized units I rent (have been in two so far) and it seems like every time I turn around, I've got them coming into my home again.
