By the way, New York law states that you would have had to give them 30 days notice to correct the issue, such as smoking, and then you would start the eviction process.
So I own different properties that I rent out in Queens and Brooklyn. I been doing this for the last five years and had no issue until now. One of my rules is no smoking of any kind in the units. No exceptions and it is an automatic termination and you don't get your security deposit. If caught, you are thrown out of the premises immediately.
I rented to two white girls in their 20s a two bedroom apartment in Williamsburg. One works fashion other works marketing. Anyway, I received a complaint from a neighbor in the building of smell coming from their unit and then I asked them about this. They were like "I promise we don't smoke or do any drugs". So I went there since it is my right to investigate a complaint, and the room smelled like pot and cigarettes. It has that awful smell like ****, I puked.
I waited for them to return and when they did, I told they been evicted and they have a couple hours to clear out. They refused saying they got the right to stay and I told them they breached the contract. Then they called me a fascist and then told me to "go back to India sand ******". So when one tried to punch me, I blocked it and punched her and kicked her in the rib, then the other girl freaked out and ran. I called the cops and they said I did the right thing. Cops said they can collect their stuff, and will be there to supervise so they don't cause anymore problems.
So either way, I have no idea what the hell is going on with young women in this city. You sign a contract, then don't f--k around.
Great job!!!
I get bad allergies from smokers and I can't stand them either. You did the right thing and hopefully you documented everything. Some people can be entitled and think they can get away with things, but glad you stood your ground.

That doesn't apply to drug use which is a criminal act and I can evict a tenant. I spoke to my lawyer before I even went in and recorded it all on video.
