I am pretty bummed because I really liked smoking the porch and the apartment is practically perfect in every way. Now it looks like I'll be frequenting my B&Ms more. Any body have an experience like this? What did you do about it?

The wife says, "well we should just buy a place." I agree, but probably in a couple years

Move. They changed the terms and conditions and you should call them on it and ask to be released from your lease. We chose to live here based upon the smoking policy. You changed it so we are going to move.

This.

I would also get some of my friends in the complex to do the same.

A last resort would be to call the news and see if you can make a story out of it. This happens a lot in Austin when unreasonable people make dumb decisions.

that sux...fight it if you can or at least move. GOOD LUCK
I joined a VFW after returning from deployment, before I signed my membership papers I asked "do you allow cigar smoking" seeing that you allow cigarettes & pipe to which they said "yes we do".....3 months later they banned cigars only.....I fought it at the monthly meeting but was shot down fast...haven't been back since, I heard they now outlawed pipes as well....as a Combat Vet I find it interesting that a Ladies Auxiliary (wife of a CV) can call the shots and the older Combat Vets let them run the VFW.
