MaineHousing: No smoking in units

AUGUSTA - MaineHousing has decided that all future units built and financed by the state’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit will be required to be 100% smoke-free. Smoke-free apartments benefit both tenants and landlords.

The Maine State Housing Authority (MaineHousing) has recognized that allowing smoking inside of buildings can cause tenants to suffer illness and poor health and that the cost of rehabbing a unit is a waste of money since the damage is preventable.
