No odor reported.  

If you fight it in escrow the HML is going to want their points and interest whereas if it does not close then no harm no foul.

It retains odors, and most people get skeeved out by all the material that collects in there from previous tenants. 

Since your lease says they’re responsible for keeping appliances in good working order, you could argue that regular cleaning falls under that, especially if the neglect caused mold and odor.

So, an automated lender just does not want to risk running a foul of those homestead issues.

If the applicant has a strong odor of weed and you can't verify rental history because the reference won't respond, you’re well within your rights to deny the application.

Other people on here have had it happen, but its pretty rare in my experience.I still doubt they'd ever know, but if you transferred and they cried foul, you could probably just transfer it back, or if they want to be hard asses and call the loan due, you could just refi the thing. 

No harm no foul.

With the smoking, if you don’t have direct evidence but strongly suspect it, consider bringing in a professional to test the air quality or check for lingering odors.

They’ve dealt with complaints ranging from loud neighbors and strange odors to parking disputes and even tenants throwing eggs at cars.Another major consideration—especially in my local market—is that quality triplex and quadplex opportunities are rare.
