NO SMOKING ON PROPERTY!

[Pete129]

We have an "absolutely no smoking on property" rule for our home. This means no smoking in the house, outside of the house and even in a car that is on our property. We just built a brand new house and spent $15,000 on beautiful furnishings. 3 of our 5 guests so far have been smokers and have not understood the rule about "on the property." The rules are on the air bnb site, we print them out and have the guests sign them, even. Yet even today- after a verbal reminder and the written reminder, a guy is on the front porch smoking! I just sent a message 3 hours ago and haven't gotten a response yet....

Can I literally say NO SMOKERS as a house rule, or is that discriminatory?  (I don't care if I lose business, I don't want their money if I have to deal with their smoke)

I think you can write NO SMOKERS on House Rules.

Contact Airbnb to make sure.

@Pete129, Smokers are not a protected class. You can do whatever you want.

I have a No smoking anywhere on the property rule (including the lawn.) People will step onto the sidewalk, which is 15 feet from the front door, but there is not too much I can do about that. And I am thankful, at least, that they are respecting my rule.

@Pete129  Absolutely.  Your property, your rules.   And while you are at it.... you might want to add "no vaping", which seems to be the latest trend.

I also have a no smoking on the property rule, and in my house notes. I keep finding people smoking on my porch, driveway. They return to my house and the smoke smell is still on them. sleeping in my beds, sitting on the furniture which is brand new.  I would rather not have the booking , than the smell of smoke in my home.
