Tenant smoking in unit

Travis Kinney
Posted

I'm currently house hacking in Jackson, MI. This is my first multi family/ first property and I plan on buying another property in may. 
im in a pickle. I have to finish remodeling the upper unit (my unit) and the lower unit lease was just renewed, they're quiet, pay on time, low maintenance, been there for ten years and we just renewed. There's been two times where my management has reminded them there's no smoking in unit. Other than the smoking they're the perfect tenant. However it's still lingering in my unit. If I don't renew next year then I'll have to pause moving due to the damage most likely to the lower unit as it's been ten years since any works been done to that unit. My unit (upper unit) is all remodeled and it's smelling like mild smoke. in lease it says no smoking in unit, tenant has no SD, but in lease says tenant is responsible for up to 10k in damages. I'd love everyone's advice.
