Walnut, we are not talking idividuals... you can always get a bad individual, smoking or non smoking. I am discussing the baseline... as a baseline smoking requires more cleanup there is no way around it... does that mean that there is never a non smoker who thoroughly trashes an apartment? Of course not. Does that mean there is never a smoker who thoroughly trashes an apartment? Of course not. As a whole however a smoking unit requires more money and time to get ready for the next tenant, just as a unit with pets will require more time and money to get ready for the next tenant. And while security deposits can cover the expenses of the repairs/clean up they don't cover the lost time of the unit not being rented.
