It is OK for landlords to prohibit smoking in their tenant’s homes.
I would be comfortable renting an apartment in a complex where other tenants are allowed to smoke.
All things being equal, I would choose a smoke-free rental house or apartment over a place that allows smoking.
I would be willing to pay a little more in rent if it meant that I could live in a smoke-free building or community.
