What happens when a tenant breaches the smoking provision of the lease?

A tenant or guest of a tenant will be liable to both the landlord and any occupant of the building who is exposed to smoke or suffers damages. The violation would be considered an infraction, with penalties ranging from $100 to $500. Each HOA or property manager may issue its own penalties, which may be financial and include eviction.
