Default Lanlord liable for tobacco smoke getting into my apt?

During the last three weeks tobacco smoke has been getting into my
apartment. The doors and windows are closed. I called the landlord
(apt/condos - different landlords...), and they won't even send
someone to see how this is happening.
I am extremely allergic to tobacco, and it causes migraines at
levels where you can barely smell it, and asthma when it is more
noticable. It is more than noticable...
What can I do? There was no problem during the first several months
here. I guess some neighbor has moved in that smokes, and it's
getting in through the ventilation or through doors/windows that are
not properly/completely sealed.
Thanks for any help or advise. (The state is NC.)


See what your lease says. If there's a local landlord tenants
organization, ask them what they recommend. I ended up dealing with the
same problem by moving.


The lease says no smoking indoors. There's an addendum that prohibits
"noxious or unusual odors generated in such quantities that they
permeate to other units or the common elements and become annoyances
to other unit owners."
