The policy on smoking can vary depending on the building and landlord. In general, smoking is becoming less common in London as many buildings are adopting smoke-free policies. This means that smoking is not allowed anywhere in the building, including inside individual apartments, balconies, and common areas.
However, there are some buildings that still allow smoking, but usually, they will have designated smoking areas or specific apartments that are designated for smokers. If you are a smoker and looking to rent an apartment in London, it’s essential to ask about the smoking policy before signing a lease.
It’s worth noting that smoking can cause damage to the apartment, and the landlord may charge a fee for any necessary cleaning or repairs required due to smoking. Additionally, smoking can be a nuisance to neighbors who may be sensitive to smoke or have health issues that are worsened by exposure to secondhand smoke.
