Specifically, things like GFCI breakers in wet areas (kitchen, bath, garage), arc-fault breakers in bedrooms and smoke and CO detectors.Also very likely you'll be required to pull permits (which usually requires a general contractor license) and use licensed subcontractors.

Pretty much a smoking gun.

After the description I state the following:  ***No smoking.

Hello,38 years old, happily married with 3 beautiful kids, and a smoking hot wife (just incase she reads this)We just recently become landlords. (2 weeks ago) We built a new home, and rented out the one we have lived in for the past 6 years.   

Hey Guys,I reviewed the lease (created by our property management) for our tenants, and I feel like we, the landlords, are not protected enough on that lease. for example, I would want to add an addendum about "changing a battery on a smoke alarm".

That includes (but is not limited to), paper towels, sanitary napkins/tampons, flushable wipes, diapers, paper towels, fish, or smoking materials/ cigarette butts, or bandages.

Also, if any item fails the inspection (except safety items, like smoke detectors), the landlord has 30 days to fix them and there is NO loss of rent.Mike

As Soh mentioned, make sure you read the local laws, use a standard lease for the area (often govt websites have one that you can then add anything to-eg no smoking).

There is no point in simply evicting and walking away if you can still go after her.If she is in on the scam she is already smoke in the wind but you should still take this to court for collections. $4000 is way worth your effort to try and collect.
