No Smoking in Your Apartment

Posted Friday, October 02, 2009 9:39 AM | By William Saletan
Two years ago, Belmont, Calif., outlawed smoking in apartments and condos with shared floors or ceilings. Then last year, two New York condo owners sued their neighbor for lighting up in her apartment and "causing smoke to enter into the common hallway." Now comes another court fight: According to the Dallas Morning News, a local woman is suing her ex-neighbor and her ex-landlord "for damage she says was caused by cigarette smoke wafting through adjoining walls of her high-end townhome."
No smoking if you share a floor. No smoking if you share a ceiling. No smoking if you share a wall. That pretty much covers it.
