Smoking in an Apartment/Rental

11-19-2008, 11:05 AM

I smoke in our rented flat. Our landlord, who is a non-smoker, does not mind, as he will have to repaint the flat and change the old carpets in any event before the next tenants would be moving in, and neither does the couple living in the flat above us, of whom the husband smokes. However, I keep two windows slightly open at all times... Luckily, UK legislation cannot (yet) forbid smoking in rented flats, provided you have the landlord's permission.

I own my home, but have rented and done the same technique.

I have a window unit dual intake/exhaust fan that works well enough. I crack a window in another room so there's no negative pressure with the exhaust

I have smoked in all of my apartments thus far and have had no real negative commentary or results from doing so...I do typically have at least a window open..plus the fans going...and the AC unit....Only once has a tenant complained...but she smokes Newports on her patio and throws them on to the roofs of the cars below her porch...so, she does not count according to the lease agents...
