LEASE ADDENDUM - SMOKE FREE

Resident, and all members of Resident’s family or household, are parties to a written Lease with Management. This Addendum states additional terms, conditions, and rules relating to Resident’s occupancy. A breach of this Lease Addendum shall give Management all of the rights contained herein as well as the rights in the Apartment Lease. Resident agrees as follows:
1.   Purpose of No-Smoking Policy. The parties desire to mitigate (i) the irritation and known health effects of secondhand smoke; (ii) the increased maintenance, cleaning, and redecorating costs in the apartment complex from smoking; (iii) the increased risk of fire from smoking; and (iv) the higher costs of fire insurance for a non-smoke-free building.
2.   Definition of Smoking. The term “smoking” means inhaling, exhaling, breathing, or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette, or other tobacco product or similar lighted product in any manner or in any form.
3.   Smoke-Free Complex. Resident agrees and acknowledges that the premises to be occupied by Resident, and members of Resident’s household, have been designated as smoke-free. Resident, members of Resident’s household, and guests are not permitted to smoke anywhere in the premises rented by Resident, or the building where the Resident’s apartment is located, or in any of the common areas or adjoining grounds of such building or other parts of the rental premises and grounds. Resident agrees and acknowledges that this policy applies to all guests

6.  VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS SHALL BE A MATERIAL VIOLATION OF THE LEASE AND GOOD CAUSE FOR TERMINATION OF TENANCY. A single violation of any of the provisions of this added addendum shall be deemed a serious violation and material non-compliance with the lease.


It is understood and agreed that a single violation shall be good cause for termination of the lease. Unless otherwise provided by law, proof of violation shall not require criminal conviction, but shall be by the preponderance of the evidence.
