Going smoke-free at your apartment building, condo, or other multi-unit dwelling can lead to better health for tenants AND better business for the property.  Whether you are a tenant looking for information or a landlord looking for solutions, contact us today for free resources.

  • Landlords:  Smoke-free housing can reduce your operating and rehab costs by eliminating the need to repair or replace carpeting, floors, fixtures, countertops, or appliances damaged by burns or nicotine stains.  Smoke-free units result in less wear and tear on ventilation systems.
  • Tenants:  One of the most crucial ways to protect yourself and your loved ones (and pets!) from the dangers of secondhand smoke is to maintain a 100% smoke-free home.  While smoking may not occur inside your own home, smoking drifting from other apartments or condos can affect you.
