The Landlord reserves the right to inspect the Leased Premises (while providing proper notice) periodically in order to assess any possible damages.

The Landlord has implemented a "No Smoking" policy due to the known health effects of secondhand smoke, increased costs incurred due to additional maintenance and cleaning, fire risks, and higher insurance costs associated with permitted smoking in the building. For this Smoke-Free Property Addendum, smoking is defined as inhaling, breathing, or carrying any lit cigarette, cigar, pipe, vape device, or other tobacco or non-tobacco smoked product in any form, legal and illegal. The Tenant, occupants, and Tenant's invitees and guests acknowledge the Leased Premises are designated as a smoke-free living space. No smoking anywhere within the leased premises is permitted. Where applicable, smoking shall not be permitted in any common areas, including but not limited to hallways, adjoining grounds, balconies and/or patios. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord does not promise or guarantee a smoke-free living space. Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's implementation of smoke-free living space does not make the Landlord responsible for the Tenant's health or of the smoke-free condition of the leased premises and the common areas. However, Landlord will try to enforce the terms within this Smoke-Free Property Addendum with the Lease to create a smoke-free environment. Tenant accepts that Landlord has limited ability to police, monitor, or enforce the terms of this Smoke-Free Property Addendum. Tenant understands enforcement depends upon the compliance of the Tenant, occupants, Tenant's guests, and invitees. Landlord puts on notice any Tenant with respiratory illnesses, diseases, allergies, or any other physical or mental condition relating to the effects of smoke that the Landlord assumes no greater duty of care to enforce this Addendum than any other landlord obligation under the Lease.

If the Tenant violates any part of this Addendum, the Tenant will then be in default of the Lease. If a default occurs, the Landlord may initiate legal proceedings under all applicable laws and regulations to evict or have the Tenant removed from the Leased Premises and seek judgment against the Tenant for any monies owed to the Landlord because of the Tenant's default.
