Yes, unfortunately the response I received was there is no guarantee in the case. Also could result in getting us evicted. I am pregnant and eviction is against HUD policy but being exposed to second hand while pregnant is also an issue.
I understand your concerns about potential eviction and the impact of secondhand smoke on your pregnancy. Here is some general information that may be helpful:

- In Colorado, the law prohibits smoking in certain public places, including common areas of apartment buildings.
- HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) has policies in place to protect tenants from eviction, especially in cases where there are health concerns, such as pregnancy.
- It may be beneficial to consult with a local attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law to discuss your specific situation and explore potential remedies.
- If you decide to pursue legal action, you may be able to seek damages for any health issues caused by the secondhand smoke and potentially obtain an injunction to enforce the non-smoking policy.
