Comments on the "no inside smoking" rule. 

That is crucial.

First of all, the smell of smoke cannot be covered up...

so not to think that smoking would be OK if the smell could be covered up,

 because it cannot be. 

 Anyone sensitive to smoke can tell immediately

if there has been smoking in the place;

and that would be a lost renter,

& potentially lost rent

 … expense to be covered by the offending smoker.

.... the yellow/tar type residue gets all over the walls, ceilings, carpet & all furnishings. 

 It is an expensive "wipe down"

at a $250 cost per time, from our experience, at move-out.

Worst of all, if someone thinks it is OK to smoke,

they are inclined to smoke in the bedroom?

which is the absolute last room which would ever be approved for smoking;

 there have been many fires caused by smoking in bed! 

Besides potential loss of life,

there is extreme damage

that is not covered by insurance. 

 In our area, market value 

(what you have to pay to purchase a mobile)

 is much above "book or cash value" 

 and the insurance companies only cover the cash value,

 not replacement value of a mobile that is a total loss. . .

not loss of rent during clean-up removal of the damaged unit, etc.  

Does someone who smokes & causes a fire want to pay for loss of rent?

  ... for the extra wash down fees? 

 . . . or for the $10,000+ that is not covered by insurance

 should the mobile burn down? 

 I think not.

Please be advised: all these would be charges we would assess as applicable

 if there is damage from smoking in a unit:

First to the Lessee

and additionally to the approved occupant/smoker.

This will be attached to the Rules & Regs of your rental agreement 

& posted in each unit where lessee or any company smokers are housed.

Agreement required prior to move-in, by each occupant!  

Smoke Detectors

Same consequences for disabling the smoke detectors as for unauthorized smoking in a unit. . .

We check you into the unit with all smoke detectors working.  

If you disable the smoke detector or remove the battery for any reason whatsoever, 

you are personally liable for any resultant damages to life and property.

It is lessee's obligation to maintain and replace at his own expense the batteries, 

as needed, in a smoke detector throughout one's tenure.
