420 Smokers Applying for Rental

Hey fam! I appreciate your insights and feedback:

I have a single-family home I need to rent out long-term. I'm not getting a lot of traction with leads, and am bleeding money each month. I just had someone on FB marketplace reach out with interest. However, the profile thoroughly communicates they smoke a lot of weed. On my initial listing ad, I had nowhere mentioned it was a non-smoking residence. I have nothing against smokers personally, but do not want that smell to be imprinted on my property, long after they are gone. 

I am open to different perspectives too, if someone has had a positive experience with smokers, I am all ears!

Big picture - buy properties in medium to high demand locations where you don't have to stress over vacancy or this type of question.  Good luck with the placement.
