Not really. If you rent an apartment and there is any evidence of smoking they'll just add a $200 fine to your monthly rent. If you continue to break their rules they'll keep adding fines and eventually evict you. Most of the hotels here now tell you they'll charge a $200 clean up fee to you credit card if you smoke in the room.
If you live in a condo then that's just like living in a subdivision with a home owners association, it doesn't matter if you rent or own outright. You have to pay monthly dues for grounds maintenance and clubhouse pool maintenance. HOA's are a bunch of busy bodies who impose their will on their neighbors. They also impose fines if a homeowner breaks their rules. They dictate what color you can paint your house to how long you can leave your garage door open. Now they're just adding smoking to the list.
