Answer 1

legally, probably not--- if it is not in your lease agreement. but you are not smart to smoke at all; your smoking harms others
around you and rarely do smokers put their butts in the trash.

the Surgeon General's reports do not give you cause to
stop? THE pain and misery you give others when you
go anywhere and they must inhale this?

rate me poorly if you must but did you know that
a major tobacco maker, 3 yrs ago, offered cigarettes
to a European nation's president because he wanted to
help that nation's budget controller to cut their healh care
costs? HE knew--the cig maker, that his product would
KILL 50% of the smokers before they turned 65.

Answer 2

I work for a real estate company and I can tell you that if it’s in the lease they can ask for whatever they want and it’s legal. If and when you renew your lease you can ask to have that part excluded, but make sure you get it in writing!

Answer 3

I would think so because it is his property and he has a right to prohibit activity that might damage it.

Answer 4

You signed it, it is a legal contract. It is his property.

Answer 5

It's obvious that your landlord is more concerned with your health than you are. STOP SMOKING!

Answer 6

You signed the lease, right? Maybe you should have read it.

Answer 7

Technically it's his place. If you smoke you should not be living there.

Answer 8

If you signed it, its legal.
