Smoke Free Apartment Complexes Gain Popularity

No-smoking-signIf you dislike cigarette smoke and are a renter, you know that it is often difficult to avoid it coming from your neighbors apartments or the common areas. But help may be on the way.

Apartment complexes across the country are instituting a complete smoking ban on their whole properties. No longer will tenants have to deal with the smell of cigarette smoke wafting into their apartment through the air ducts.

I think this is a trend that will gather steam, especially in the high end market.

Welcome to the latest no-smoking frontier: private homes. Smoke-free housing could become as common as no-pet policies.
Nationwide, more landlords are barring tenants from lighting up to reduce neighbors’ exposure to secondhand smoke, joining a long list of cities, companies and hotels that have done the same. The Smokefree Apartment House Registry features about 300 listings nationally, up from 11 when it began in 2001.  via  Dallas Business News.
