He thinks he will smoke on my balcony but the lease says no smoking on property! His response to this was "If they catch me I'll feign ignorance"! After I JUST read the lease?? Yeah right. The lease even says "you are responsible for your guests". I don't want to get into a fight with him but I just can't let him smoke if that's the rules. My balcony does NOT face the woods so people could see him plain as day out there smoking. How do I tell someone who is that much of a smoker that he can't smoke in my new apartment? That he needs to go to the car or something??


I just texted him asking if he could smoke in the car because I dont feel comfortable breaking my lease right out of the starting gate. He will probably cancel our plans but oh well.
You just need to be adamant. He cannot smoke on the property. Even the balcony. It gets inside, even from the balcony. I am a smoker. My mother can smell it, ON ME, if I've just been out to smoke and came in right away. If I didn't sit for a minute or two before coming in. It doesn't linger in the house, but she can smell it.
