Discrimination for smoking.

If stated in our lease, can we require no smoking inside our home or on our property? Can we use this when we are screening our tenants?
Thank-you.

Yes smokers are not a protected class and you have the right to say that you will not rent to them.

I saw you had a couple of discrimination questions so here is a link to the HUD fair housing site that may help http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/FHLaws/yourrights
