Can I ban smokers in a rental house of mine.Do I have to use the "Residential Tenancy Agreement" that I downloaded from dbh.govt.nz
Thanks

We always do - just hand write it on along with other conditions.

I normally just buy the agreements from a PostShop. Downloading means you have to fill out two copies rather than a carbon copy.

I would think you couldn't ban smoking if it was an existing tenent.

New tenants, yes.

No.

Mine is set as a Word Doc on my computer. Just fill out the bits and print out two copies.

I just hate those self carbon things. Leaves room for poor reading if not filled out properly. And, misspelt names, incorrect AFS's etc. Most important document in your LL'ing business and you want to rely on a handwritten one with a carbon copy?

ALL my rental houses are non smoking, if people do smoke they do it outside, as far as I am aware they all respect that rule. Have everything managed but the managers havent reported any proplems. I know the ones who live next door to us (in our house) smoke outside.
