When you're talking about going smoke-free, it is best to have
a clearly organized communication plan for talking to tenants.
We know you're busy operating your property, so here are some
helpful tactics:
 |
Establish when and where smoking
is to occur. Post "Smoke-free" or "No Smoking"
signs accordingly.
|
|
Decide if improvements need
to be made to the existing building.
|
|
Make sure that you are familiar
with all aspects of the new smoke-free
lease language, especially covenants, conditions, or
terms that may prohibit persons living in the building from
engaging in disruptive behavior.
|
|
If there is a conflict between
tenants, be open and understanding, but make sure that smokers
know that, if necessary, you are willing to restrict or
prohibit smoking in the building if he or she can not voluntarily
solve the problem.
|
|
Host information sessions about
the upcoming change. You can use the PowerPoint
presentation provided to help tenants understand the new
smoke-free policy. |
