Smoking Inside the Unit or at the Property

If you and/or a guests are or have been smoking on the property, you stop stop right away. You will need to take whatever steps are necessary to repair any damage that may have been caused as a result of smoking in the unit. Smoke odors and chemical residue are very difficult to remove. Ultimately the tenant is responsible for the cost to remove any smoke odor in the unit which may include, but not limited to a thorough and detailed cleaning of the unit, painting the entire unit, replacement of carpet and carpet padding, cleaning of any fabric surfaces, vent cleaning, etc.

It's important to note that if smoking in bathrooms or kitchens, the ventilation systems that may be included in the unit are not designed to remove smoke odors or chemicals and therefore they will not adequately provide sufficient airflow to prevent smoke damage. Smoking with windows or doors open also does not provide enough airflow to remove smoke odors or chemicals. The only way to prevent smoke damage to the unit is by smoking off premises. Smoking outside the front door, on a lanai, inside a garage, on a back patio or near a patio door, etc. is also not permitted.
