If enough people mention the odor and have concerns about the tidiness of the dwelling you should share their concerns with the existing tenant and use this objective feedback to drive the point home.

Quote from @Theodore Ehlert: Quote from @Jackie Mann: Thank you, Nicholas, for this thread.

The biggest issue is that my two young children are being woken up at night due to the odor, affecting their sleep and overall well-being.Since verbal and written warnings haven’t worked, I’m considering hiring an air quality inspection to provide documented proof that they are smoking cannabis or any kind.

In addition, some people are very sensitive of smoke odors and the odor could result in a bad review.if you do not have a deposit, contact the OTA and see what they are willing to do to assist with your remediation costs.  

We've also heard stories of people getting a discounted price and being able to take of the odor with just flooring and paint. 

If you want to keep your timeline to move units, you need to stop the smoking nowSmell remediation is a major delay.You don’t want to renovate your unit twice because the odor keeps creeping in.7.

@Theodor ChungI know this is 2025, and we expect that anything can be figured out from Reddit and ChatGPT.

Due to the odor and damage caused by the cats, we removed all the furniture, all the carpeting, all the baseboards, all the interior doors, and all the drywall and trim 2 feet above the floor.

Just use an ozone machine to remove the odors.

We’re preparing to sell the property, but the condition was extreme—there was so much garbage it was difficult to walk through, and we found urine and feces on both the floors and walls.Since then, we’ve removed the carpet, painted the walls, and cleaned the subfloor with Kilz, but the odor still lingers.
