If this is the one w/ the smell coming from her apartment, I'd leave it alone. She sounds harmless and probably has a prescription. Unless your on probation and/or subject to drug testing for a new job or something, in which case fumes could be a concern.

The tenants on the first floor of our building must be pot heads, because we always smell it, and by the time we get to the fourth floor, it reeks, so we just open the hallway windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors, even in the winter.


I don't complain, I don't care what they do in their own apartment. Once I get into my apartment I do not smell it.

I would say MYOB.


Living in apartment buildings and complexes sometime you just have to look the other way, because then everything will make you crazy.

yes, I do MYOB.

because it isn't my business.


It is in their apartment not mine, I don't care.
and I have better things to do with my life than complain about my neighbors.

First...you better be darn sure where the smell is coming from before making any accusations that could harm your neighbors in any way, shape or form or you may find yourself on the wrong end of a bad lawsuit.

If you are 100% sure it is coming from the correct apartment let them know the smoke is infiltrating your apartment. Don't say weed smoke...just say smoke.

I agree mind your own business...but once the smoke is in your apartment...its your problem too.

If I had a noisy neighbor I would talk with them....if that didn't fix it then I would start working on other ways to solve the problem.

heres the funny part. my landlord has said they complained awhile back about a weed smell before and said it was coming from my apartment. but he gave me this look like he knew they were trying to cover up their own stuff.


since all the furnaces are in the basement, all u would have to do would be open the vent there and ud know who was the guilty party.

Yes, I'd MYOB. I'd rather live next to a pothead than a mether or a crackhead. Or a paranoid schizo who thinks the world is out to get him and has appointed himself Chief PITA.
