In multi-unit housing buildings, such as apartment and condominiums, is smoking allowed in common areas?
Yes. The entire building is considered to be a private residence, and therefore smoking is still allowed in common areas. NOTE: If the city, county or residential community has already passed a law to prohibit smoking in common areas in multi-unit housing, then that law still applies. Multi-unit housing buildings are also allowed to pass their own policy prohibiting smoking in common areas.
