Macro Properties bans smoking in apartments after positive tenant feedback
After receiving great feedback from tenants, Macro Properties has decided to ban smoking in all of its buildings, starting in North Battleford.
Tenants renting from Macro Properties in North Battleford received notice that as of May 1, 2018, all smoking of any kind will be prohibited, including on balconies. Macro owns apartments in several Saskatchewan communities, including several in Prince Albert and 16 in North Battleford. The company converted five buildings in North Battleford to non-smoking four years ago, and another two years ago.
The notice defines smoking as inhaling, exhaling, breathing, vaping and possession of any lighted product, cigarette, cigar, pipe or product containing tobacco, cannabis or any similar lighted product. Under the new rules, smokers will now have to partake outside, at least three metres from any entrance.
According to property manager Ramona Maraj, the tenant feedback was excellent.
