[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 528642, member: 1233"] Here they can get away with any fee they want unless it is subsidized housing as long as the fees are in the lease when you sign it. But they cannot take a person who has lvied there for years and try to toss them out for something like smoking. They get away with it when a new lease is signed by not showing that it is a change until AFTER you sign - too many people don't read what they sign. I like having a smoking area be away from the door. Esp as over the last few years even walking past smokers makes me wheeze. Nothing EVER made me wheeze and I don't have an asthma diagnosis. But my allergies/sensitivities have gotten very strong. Odd as I smoked socially and at times of depression for years. never more than a few months at a time, but it has been years since I did that and now I have a real problem if I walk past/through smoke. I do think it is totally unreasonable not to have an outside smoking area. in my opinion it shoudl be covered so when it rains or snows there is some protection. I also think restaurant and bar owners who do not offer kids items or menus should be able to have smoking inside. That is totally not allowed in our state. But they can have hookah bars as long as they don't smoke anything illegal. Or serve alcohol. None of these rules makes ANY sense to me except the kids one. I do think that if a business wants to attract children then it should not have smoking. Or they need a totally closed off area with a separate ventilation system. For crying out loud, I am an adult and I can make the decision to not go into a bar if it is a smoking bar. Why should they take that responsiblity to control exposure to smoke in a business away? If I choose to go into a place that caters to adults only and has smoking, why do I not have that choice if they serve things other than smoke from hookahs? Here even the hookah bars cannot have cigar or cigarette smoking for some ignorant reason.
