AT A GLANCE: WHAT THEY SAID
The plaintiff:
Cigarette smoke from a next-door townhome prevented her from breathing and ruined a life's worth of belongings.
The defendants:
Smoking is not prohibited in the complex, and construction standards prevent the migration of smoke from one unit to another.
The Dallas city attorney's office:
The complaint is under review by the city's Fair Housing Office. To qualify for protection, the cigarette smoke would have to impair a major life function ? such as breathing.
The physician:
The plaintiff qualifies as disabled under the Texas Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Apartment Association of Greater Dallas:
Rules regarding smoking are the prerogative of individual property owners and managers.
