Interesting but not a good use of time. You repeated yourselves many times over. While the topic was interesting there was really only about 2 minutes of content here.
Would like to know how to ban smoking with tenants at will. Would I need to write up an new year lease with no-smoking terms in it or new tenant at will with no smoking in it?
Sherri, if you have a fixed lease (not month to month) you cannot change the terms without renewing the lease. So a new lease with a no smoking addendum would suffice, if the tenant agrees. If they do not, then changing the terms upon renewal, or finding a new tenant would be your only options.
