Cigarette smoke inside duplex

[Brent Kiger]

I am under contract on a unit and when I went in for the inspection, the current tenant was sitting on the couch smoking cigarettes inside, as if he has been doing it for years.

My question is, in trying to determine if I should buy this unit or not, how hard is removing smoke odor from a unit; meaning the carpet, paint. etc. And does anyone have any idea how much this would cost?

Thanks in advance,

Brent
