In line with our quality standards, we have a standard Non-Smoking policy for all our rented Properties.

Rent24 recognises a Non-Smoking policy throughout all our properties for rent. This comes after much debate over the non-smoking issue, where Ireland have already banned smoking in public places, soon to be followed by Scotland and England within the next few years.

Since Rent24 offer quality properties for rent, many of our Landlords do not want smokers as tenants in their properties. This lead to a natural progression to ban smoking in all our properties.

While Rent24 realise that there are a lot of smokers out there who may be offended at our stance on this subject, but at the end of the day, we have both the landlord’s property and the tenant’s health & safety at the heart of this decision.

As well as the much-publicised health and safety risks, smoking can lead to discolouration of upholstery, paintwork on doors, walls & ceilings or could lead to a fire which would be disastrous for both Landlord & Tenant. Smoking is one of the main causes of fires in the Home, so by eliminating this risk, clients of Rent24 will live safer, healthier and happier.

The Non-Smoking clause within our Tenancy Agreements  reads;

Clause 8   Non-Smoking Policy

The tenant(s) and/or his visitors are not permitted to smoke inside the property, if smoking has occurred and damage has been sustained to the interior of the property or its contents, the tenant is liable for the costs incurred by the landlord in having any discoloured ceilings, walls, skirting boards, doors, etc. professionally redecorated or any curtains, furnishings, upholstery, carpets, etc. professionally cleaned or replaced.
