As of August 2018, a new law requires NYC landlords to have a smoking policy that states where smoking is permitted or prohibited on the premises—including all indoor and outdoor locations. But whatever your policy, you’re still likely to field complaints from tenants about secondhand smoke coming from neighboring apartments and common areas. How should you handle these complaints?

In this recorded webinar, attorney Jeremy M. Poland of Horing Welikson & Rosen, P.C. discusses how to enforce your smoking policy and prevent smoking-related complaints from turning into costly legal disputes.

You’ll learn what the new law requires, as well as how to:

  • Adopt a no-smoking policy when several current tenants smoke
  • Enforce a no-smoking policy against a tenant who violates it
  • Address tenants’ complaints about secondhand smoke
  • Deal with secondhand smoke coming from another property
  • Handle tenants’ requests to smoke medical marijuana

This presentation is geared to:

  • Owners of NYC apartment buildings
  • Managers of NYC apartment buildings
  • Leasing agents
  • Attorneys and other rental property advisors
