And no smoker is going to go outside to smoke when they don't want to- they will open a window.One thing that cigarette and marijuana smokers don't recognize is how horribly they smell of their chosen vice.

Smokers are not a protected class.If you care about maintaining good landlord-tenant relationships and maintaing your property, you are likely to attract the type of tenant you desire.

So far I've had a tenant die the day after Christmas (a smoker) which cost me $2k to renovate his unit, another tenant sneak people into the house unapproved, constant lies, and the famous one guy always scheming to get out of the rent. 

Today:Health sharing companies are becoming a new kind of painNew art from the 1920s entered the public domainU-Haul gave cigarette smokers a reason to complainNow go have yourself a healthy day.Health care ‘cost sharing’ companies, which don’t guarantee coverage, are on the riseMore than 1m people have joined alternative health care “cost sharing” associations, which offer lower premiums than traditional health insurers -- but no guarantees they will actually provide coverage.These nonprofit organizations, typically affiliated with religious groups, are growing due to demand from desperate consumers.

Phone screening includes number of people, pets, income, when can they take possession, smokers, and criminal history.

A high quality air filter will do better but if they are smokers or have pets the 3 month time frame can need replacement every 4 to 6 weeks instead.What happens is the air filter catches more stuff it then starts restricting the air flow.This also causes the bill to go up.You can use the cheap blue filters but they need monthly replacement.2.When was the last time the duct lines and vents were cleaned??

What else can I do to get good matches (non-smokers, employed, no pets, etc.)?

I was under the impression smokers were not a protected class.

Sure you can arrest each smoker when caught, charge them with possession etc... but whats the grand effect in thwarting the problem?

So, that $60K person is living in a house with a $1,500 house payment, $200-$300 in utilities, a $100+ cell phone bill, $200 in food at home, but another $200-300 eating out, a $500 car payment, Full package Directv at $180 per month, drinking starbucks coffee at $5 a cup that they pick up on the way to work....and the list goes on.Not any one of the items listed seem unreasonable, but combined with the salary to support that kind of lifestyle is excessive for that person, making them live outside of their means.I was at my annual holiday lunch with one of my attorneys.. and we got on the coffee habit... not to mention smoking habit at 7 to 10 bucks a day.. but in Portlandia were coffee is a thing.. she said many of her staff ride down the elevator buy the fancy 5 buck coffee and do it 2 to 3 times a day 5 days a week.. that's a 200 to 300  a month coffee habit right there.. smokers 300 a month  drinkers etc etc..
