St. Paul condo sellers must disclose smoking policy to buyers Shannon Prather, Star Tribune
St. Paul condo and townhouse owners looking to sell their units now must disclose their association s smoking policy to prospective buyers.
The City Council unanimously passed a new Smoking Policy Disclosure Report ordinance Wednesday, prompted by condo owners who said their neighbors secondhand smoke seeped through walls and utilities, jeopardizing their health and quality of life. The council said prospective buyers deserve to know of smokers nearby. This is a step forward for public health and transparency, said Council Member Rebecca Noecker, who sponsored the ordinance.
