I am not very familiar with Indiana Law.

My lease says no smoking on the property. Can I deny renting to smokers altogether in Indiana?

I do. I understand they are not a protected class. --172.56.xx.xxx

It’s part of my prescreening. I ask how many smokers will occupy the property and if they smoke inside or out. If they specify any number other than zero, they’re denied.

They aren’t a protected class. --73.177.xxx.xx

I've discovered that non-smokers in general (very general, not a hard fact) tend to be better educated and earn more money than smokers. So right there they move further up the line. --50.82.xxx.xxx

I deny smokers and I deny anyone who has smoked in the prior six months.

I'm not taking anyone who quit long enough to secure a rental and then starts smoking again. --76.178.xx.xx

I won’t rent to a smoker, if you are worried about it deny for another reason. This thread and Jeff [CO]’s recent thread “lease violation 1st day” reminded me of a prospect I had years ago. He was told it was a non-smoking property, and assured me he didn’t smoke. He called during the screening process asking if it would be ok if he kept his motorcycle parked behind his vehicle, I told him I’d allowed it even though he was told only 1 vehicle per tenant on the lease. To thank me he asked if I smoked cigars, he’d like to give me a couple Cubans. I told him I don’t smoke, he then replied “I like to have 1 after dinner”..........denied. I love it when they screen themselves out just by talking!!. --173.48.xxx.xxx

Ray, had your thoughts for a few years now.

I had a "nonsmoker" apply; he and his girlfriend were very convincing with everything they did. Checking him out on facebook, smoking! --186.233.xxx.xx
