How to detect cigarette smoke other than by smell?

[Betty Joseph]

A tenant has smoked in a non-smoking property. It's obvious by the smell, but I'd like to find a more concrete way to prove that she has smoked in the unit. What is the remediation?

Officially I do not know. I do know that when I've purchased a property that had been smoked in. When we did clean up there was a lot of residue on the window frames. On the ceiling by the area they smoked in the most. If they have been there awhile and had pictures hanging, there is discoloration on the wall when the frame is removed. I think I'd start with swabbing a non-porous area like the window frame. Best wishes
