Question: I bought a rental property with 10 units about two years ago. There is a nice lawn and sidewalk area in front Marlboro Cigarettes, and a pool with picnic tables in rear. There is also a parking lot. When I took over the property, the prior owner had already inserted a clause in the rental agreements prohibiting smoking in the units. But tenants and their guests had been allowed to smoke in the common areas Marlboro Lights, including the front lawn, pool area and parking lot.

I am tired of cleaning up after the smokers and tired of listening to complaints from the nonsmoking tenants. I put up a "no smoking" sign near the pool, but one tenant is now complaining that I have violated his rights. How much leeway do I have to stop smoking on my property?
