No Smoking Policy

EHA is a smoke and tobacco-free authority. Our ban on smoking and tobacco products is in compliance with HUD's smoking ban in the nation's 1.2 million public housing units. This ban will hopefully improve the health of residents, protect against the dangers of secondhand smoke, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent fires due to lit products. 

This smoking prohibition for EHA properties includes all indoor and outdoor areas, including, but not limited to, all apartments, common areas, building grounds, recreational areas, and parking lots. Residents, family members, and guests are not permitted to smoke anywhere on the leased properties. Smoking includes but is not limited to the use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, blunts, tobacco, Hookahs, Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS or Electric Cigarettes), or incense products. Violation of this policy is a serious violation and serves as grounds for lease termination.
