Rents the premises from Owner/Agent located at:

(Street Address)
_________________________________, CA _________________________
(City) (Zip)
Tenant and all members of Tenant's family or household are parties to a written lease with Landlord (the Lease). This
Addendum states the following additional terms, conditions and rules which is incorporated into the Lease.
1. Purpose of Addendum: The parties desire to mitigate (i) the irritation and known health effects of secondhand smoke;
(ii) the increased maintenance, cleaning, and redecorating costs from smoking; (iii) the increased risk of fire from smoking;
and (iv) the higher costs of fire insurance for a non-smoke-free building;
2. Smoke-Free Premises: Tenant agrees and acknowledges that the premises to be occupied by Tenant and members of
Tenant's household have been designated as a smoke-free living environment. “Smoking” means inhaling, exhaling,
burning, vaping, or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other device containing any tobacco product, or any
other leaf, weed, plant or other products. Tenant and members of Tenant's household shall not smoke anywhere in the unit
rented by Tenant, or the building where the Tenant's dwelling is located or in any of the common areas or adjoining grounds
of such building or other parts of the rental community, nor shall Tenant permit any guests or visitors under the control of
Tenant to do so. Should Landlord authorize smoking on the premises, the designated areas to do so, are indicated below.
Select one:
○ Smoking is prohibited on the entire property, including individual units, common areas, every building and
adjoining properties.
○ Smoking is prohibited on the entire property except the following designated areas:
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Tenant to Promote No-Smoking Policy: Tenant shall inform Tenant's guests of the no-smoking policy. Further, Tenant
shall promptly give Landlord a written statement of any incident where tobacco smoke is migrating or drifting into the
Tenant's unit from sources outside of the Tenant's apartment unit.
4. Owner/Agent Not Guarantor of Smoke-Free Environment: Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's adoption of a
smoke-free living environment, and the efforts to designate the rental complex/property as smoke-free, do not make the
Landlord or any of its managing agents the guarantor of Tenant's health or of the smoke-free condition of the Tenant's unit
and the common areas. However, Landlord shall take reasonable steps to enforce the smoke-free terms of its leases and to
make the complex smoke-free. Landlord is not required to take steps in response to smoking unless Landlord knows of said
smoking or has been given written notice of said smoking.
