Smoke-free Apartments and Condos
Secondhand smoke is a health concern whether it's found in homes, cars, or public areas. Apartments, however, present a unique challenge as secondhand smoke from one unit can drift into the living space of tenants next door, threatening their health.
That is why many owners, landlords and tenants are making the decision to make their buildings smoke-free. Whether it’s the improved health of tenants or the economic benefits of operating a building with reduced maintenance and turnover costs, communities across the nation are seeing an increase in the demand and availability of smoke-free multi-unit housing.
Explore this section to learn more about the benefits of smoke-free housing and how you can implement a smoke-free policy where you live.
