What does the smoking ban mean in practice?

The smoking ban applies to all lease agreements, including those that do not mention it. In addition to cigarettes, the ban covers e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. You can read more about the change in our news article from August.

What we do if someone smokes in the wrong place

Our staff or the maintenance company may notice that someone is smoking in the wrong place. Sometimes other residents tell us about it.

The smell of smoke can travel through building structures, the ventilation system and open windows. This means that the smell does not always show where the smoke is coming from, so we do not draw conclusions from the smell alone.

When we know who has smoked in the wrong place, we contact them. If they continue, we may give them a reminder or a warning. If that does not help, it may lead to the termination of their lease agreement.

In addition, damage caused by smoking is not normal wear and tear, so the resident may be charged for the repair costs.

Every property has a smoking area

Each of our properties has a designated smoking area. Earlier this autumn, we sent you information about where it is. Your guests may also smoke only there, so please tell them where it is.

If something in the smoking area needs to be repaired or is missing, such as an ashtray, please make a fault report.
