Tools
As a landlord, you know that a good set of tools is important to keep your building in good working order. This section contains a few tools to make your transition to a smoke-free environment easier.To get you started, here is an easy five-step process to go smoke-free:
1. Make a plan. Start by creating a plan to make the entire residence smoke-free.
2. Hold a Meeting. Gather with tenants to discuss the change. You can use our informative PowerPoint presentation to give the tenants all the necessary details. There may be resistance, but remember, non-smoking tenants have rights under their leases too. Contact us at info@smokefreeforme.org for sample presentations that could be used.
3. Inform Tenants. Review the legal information concerning your rights and your tenants' rights by using this web site and printing out key pages, such as the Landlords' Rights and Tenants' Rights pages.
4. Amend New Leases. Change the language of your lease to include your new smoke-free policy. When new tenants sign on, your policy will be crystal clear.
5. Promote Your Status. Begin advertising your smoke-free status to gain new tenants who appreciate a clean air environment. It's easy with our downloadable signage.
