Survey: Landlords Reluctant to Let to Smokers and Vapers

A new survey of 500 landlords highlights reluctance among landlords to let properties to smokers and vapers. According to the report, 39% of landlords say they are unlikely to rent to vapers, while 49% are unlikely to rent to smokers.

The survey further breaks down the responses on vapers: 25% of landlords are very unlikely and 14% are somewhat unlikely to let to tenants who vape. These findings may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks when advising landlords or managing tenant applications.
