All buildings, apartments, and properties are smoke-free. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of any building, as per HUD regulations.
Smoking is defined as inhaling, exhaling, burning, and/or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other form of lighted object or device, including e-cigarettes and vapor smoking devices. Burning tobacco, any other plant, or e-cigarette cartridges is also prohibited.
Designated smoking areas are provided outside of the building. This is the only place on the property where smoking is permitted. Receptacles are provided and must be used.
Residents are responsible for the behavior of their guests and business visitors and are responsible for ensuring that they follow the property's smoke-free rules. Residents should promptly give management a written statement of any incident where tobacco smoke is migrating into any apartment, including their own.
If residents or their guests violate this smoking policy, the resident will be in violation of the provisions of the lease agreement. One written warning letter will be provided, reminding the resident of the property's smoke-free policies and offering resources on smoking cessation. A second written notice, of a curable lease violation, will be provided stating that the next time the smoke-free policy is violated, it will be considered material noncompliance with the lease and will subject the resident to eviction procedures. Upon the third violation, a letter of eviction will be sent. Additionally, the resident will be liable for any damages to the premises caused by smoking, as well as for costs incurred by the property in removing any smoke odor and/or residue. The minimum fee for each occurrence is $250.00.
