8 lease changes can be made following amending the rules.
*3 Definition: ‘Adequate
notice’ is case dependent. Check with an attorney
to confirm what’s correct in your situation.
*4 Definition: ”Smokefree”
is defined as a property whose written lease, by-laws or
CC & R’s explicitly prohibit(s) carrying or using
a lit tobacco product in both public and private areas of
the building. Landlords are advised to include the definition
on promotional materials.

modifications include sealing places where tobacco smoke
drifts from one unit to another. Air filtration systems
are not acceptable modifications, as they do not provide
protection from secondhand smoke carcinogens.

1-866-NY-QUITS (in NYC call 311) or
through your local tobacco use prevention coalition (see
