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.) |

(The state is NC.) Do you have a no smoking policy on the lease agreement for the apartment complex? Do your neighbors complain about the smoke too, maybe the health department could do something about it and fine the landlord for health or building code violation. Would something like this work for you? http://www.amazon.com/Hunter-30730-Q...5325485&sr=8-3 Smoke is getting into you area because the smokers apartment has more positive air pressure than you space. You need to have forced filtered outside air to keep your space at a more positive pressure than the smokers. Houses are cheap now, perhaps good time to buy and get away from the apartment environment. |

(The state is NC.) I'm sorry your landlord has been unresponsive; however, it sounds as though either your health is very delicate or you are personally hypersensitive to smoke. If it is the former, in my limited experience as a landlord, it is outside the norm of what a landlord would be legally obligated to deal with. But a good landlord should be willing to work with you to find some mutually agreeable compromise. If it is just that you really, really hate any whiff of tobacco smoke (I'm with you on that!) and work yourself into a migraine or asthma attack over it, there's little your landlord can, or should, do. Check the terms of your lease to see the extent of your landlord's responsibility to you. It may be there's a clause in there that obligates her or him to address this issue. Also, if it's a condominium complex, you should speak with the association to see what their terms of living are, especially regarding obligations to neighbors. Some associations are restrictive enough that they ban smoking both inside units and on balconies, or set limits on how close smoking can occur to the building(s). Ultimately, if this is as big an issue as you indicate, you can terminate your lease early and move to a place where there's a lesser risk of smokers. (You won't find a place where there's NO risk of smokers, as you can't ban people smoking outside.) You may be obligated to surrender your security deposit or some such. Or your landlord may sympathize and you can work out a compromise. Are you under the care of a doctor for these migraines and asthma attacks? If so, that may be grounds for early termination of the lease, but again, ***read your lease carefully and consult with a professional (lawyer, leasing agent, etc.) before taking any action***. And if you are under care of a doctor, going forward you should have a letter from your doctor with you when you consider moving into a place, ask if they can adapt to or meet your specific health needs, and make sure that agreement is in writing as a part of the lease. |

Smoker trash need to be forced to livein an airtight area and kill
each other. No one should have to smell that crap formthe garbage that need to always suck on something. Why are they called fags in England?

The OP's complaint is cross posted to smoking newsgroups. Pretty much like asking for a good dog recipe in alt.cooking, crossposted to rec.pets.dogs. -- Tony Sivori Did you look at those two groups to see what they talk about? I only added those groups because when I searched google there was a lot of discussion there by non-smokers complaining about smoke, and smokers that replied were not telling them to go away, but were adding to the discussion. |

But a good landlord should be willing to work with you to find some mutually agreeable compromise. If it is just that you really, really hate any whiff of tobacco smoke (I'm with you on that!) and work yourself into a migraine or asthma attack over it, there's little your landlord can, or should, do. Check the terms of your lease to see the extent of your landlord's responsibility to you. It may be there's a clause in there that obligates her or him to address this issue. Also, if it's a condominium complex, you should speak with the association to see what their terms of living are, especially regarding obligations to neighbors. Some associations are restrictive enough that they ban smoking both inside units and on balconies, or set limits on how close smoking can occur to the building(s). Ultimately, if this is as big an issue as you indicate, you can terminate your lease early and move to a place where there's a lesser risk of smokers. (You won't find a place where there's NO risk of smokers, as you can't ban people smoking outside.) You may be obligated to surrender your security deposit or some such. Or your landlord may sympathize and you can work out a compromise. Are you under the care of a doctor for these migraines and asthma attacks? If so, that may be grounds for early termination of the lease, but again, ***read your lease carefully and consult with a professional (lawyer, leasing agent, etc.) before taking any action***. And if you are under care of a doctor, going forward you should have a letter from your doctor with you when you consider moving into a place, ask if they can adapt to or meet your specific health needs, and make sure that agreement is in writing as a part of the lease. clearly in this day and age smole shouldnt be allowed to leak into other units. �No more than any other toxic, noxious fumes say's Lease's should contain crybabies claus.. Toss out the crybabies and $2,000.00 penalty for lease break. Sure a landlord is gonna write you a lease that creates a lawsuit for the smell of a garbage truck squeezing the juice, a skunk ****ing, or exhaust fumes from engines....the neighbors cooking stinky food etc. In your ****ing dreams.! Then you wake up and face reality and leave dreamland. All smoker should leave the complex for 1 asshole... That is probably a non~smoker cheapskate anyhow. What a landloard should do is raise their rent $250.00 per month per complaint. Any other pot smoker odd balls should be kicked to the gutter too. Some cities will lock down and board up the property for illegal drug use. Apartments aren't public places. Just public housing are. Maybe that's where you should go.? or home to your mama for a good cry, asshole. Hey therer's an idea....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - ahh smoker wake up. tobacco smopke is full of carcinogens, and second hand smoke a known health risk. landlord should be required to have healthy building. easiest way is to require by law smokers to live in sealed areas, landlords can supply thjem for a extra 500 bucks a month rent. that shouldnt be a problem a 2 pack a day smoker around here spends over $2300, might as well set fire to the money. tobacco prices should increase to pay health insurance costs for smokers.... as is we all pay and that isnt right |
