The cigar smoke in the adjoining property has permeated to the property that I am interested in purchasing.

If this happens, and the finishing work is completed by a GC, making the place new again, the smell of smoke will permeate throughout the property once the weather turns hot & humid.

X who puts her nose 1 inch from the doorknob and smells it, then proclaims the whole house smells like smoke is very different than a true permeating odor of smoke throughout the unit.Having others come over and smell for it will give you (some kind of) an idea if it need to be abated (or not).Offering to let them out of the lease before move in (if turned down) seems to nullify the need to (try to) abate the smoke smell.

I even find severe urine can be in the walls, from both peeing/spraying on lower walls and trims and I think (not sure exact science) it even permeates surfaces of sheet goods (like sheetrock, paneling etc).

Sorry, but I'm an old timer who just doesn't hold to the politically correct crap that permeates our judicial system these days.

Even if they don't smoke on the property, the smoke permeates their clothing and the odor can foul the unit.

Prevent water permeation.

It’s one of the biggest disservices that permeates real estate investing.

Smoke permeates everything and extremely difficult to remove the smell.

I did that, needless to say still to this day the smell is so bad, it permeates the whole house and gives everyone a headache, I have complained to the real estate but they are insisting that their hands are tied.After literally spring cleaning for well over 3 weeks everyday after we moved in, I finally got the house up to the standards it should've been in before moving in and what we were lead to believe what would happen.
