Candles in a small apartment

Recently had turn over in one of our newly renovated apartments. It is a small space <700 sq. ft. and not HVAC. The tenant had complained about "dust" and waking up with black phlegm, etc. She was our second tenant in that space since renovation and the first to ever complain. Well on the exit walk through there was oily black soot stains on the walls in areas, mirroring the outlines of furniture and wall photos. I couldn't figure it out until I did some research.

Candles... a new prohibition in my leases moving forward.

Impossible to "properly" clean, had to prime and paint.

Just throwing this up there for as a lesson learned. I absolutely despise this new forum layout... so unlikely to follow-up.
