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. |
