All residents but the smokers have lost use of their balconies and keep windows closed now.

We all know of the smoker who "just quit" but resumed or "just smokes outside so that's really not smoking" until it's rainy or frigid and they have the excuse "Well it's miserable out there! 

Quote from @Josh Ball: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Smokers aren't a protected class, but they could argue that whatever the underlying "medical" issue for the card could be part of one.

Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

It's kind of like the ex-smoker, in the company of smokers. 

I can smell it nearly always on smokers.

And pellet smokers...... with ai, lol......... 

I like it and the numbers look decent.Pro Forma is 7.21% and CoC ROI is 10.04%.However one of the tenants is late for rent ($1,000 in late fees this year), a smoker and their unit is hard to even be in.   

This can happen in the higher dollar markets.. but if you get stuck with one in the low dollar markets you dont have the option of demo and rebuild your stuck with what you bought and trying to put it back together.But we have all bought hoarder houses , Animal houses, extreme smoker houses, crack houses, Whore houses you name it.

For instance, if the neighboring unit has a shut-in chain-smoker, or the house has railroad tracks behind it, it is definitely better to let a lead know and lose them than to not disclose, upset them and lose them (after they leave a nasty review).I'd agree with Jonathan that even late complaints need to be taken seriously, and barring some obvious malfeasance, I would just take the word of the resident and fix the issue.
