Exit Survey
 
 
1. Over the years, we have received many inquiries from condominiums, cooperatives and HOAs struggling with the issue of second-hand smoke impacting their residents and employees. Bearing in mind that it is currently difficult and expensive for associations to successfully intervene when residents complain about a neighbor's excessive smoke invading their units, balconies, the corridors and other common areas, CAN is asking for your input in this short survey.

Has your association confronted the issue of second-hand smoke and how have you dealt with it? Do you believe that an association should have tools to intervene when excessive secondhand smoke becomes an issue or is this an area that associations should steer clear of?

For the communities that have this issue, we have been told it can create a serious impact on their residents' lives.

While we have heard from many CAN members that this is a complicated issue, how many of you believe that a legislative change making it easier to amend your documents to regulate or prohibit smoking is warranted? Please let us know.
