    Neighbour Smokes Weed Outside

    Hey guys,

    I feel really bad about having a problem with this and I don't know why? Everyone has a right to do what they want, however, as a non smoking family we've moved into our new house not knowing that our next door neighbour smokes weed multiple times a day, outside. Now normally you'd think this wouldn't be a problem, but our windows are open and that's all you can smell.

    I hate the smell of it so does my partner, and it's not exactly nice for our friends and family when they visit either.

    We've signed a 12 month tenancy and absolutely adore the house, but this is beginning to really irritate us. It even smells when we have the windows shut, and furthermore why should we have to have the Windows closed in our own home?

    I don't judge people that smoke it because it's not my place, but where do I stand?! Can I speak to the landlord/estate agents about it because we weren't made aware this happens (obviously)? I don't want to ring the police because it's not exactly a big thing for them to waste their time on, and I don't particularly want this to cause a problem between us and our neighbour?

    Please any advice would be great

    TM

      Would it be worth speaking to the council ?

            If they can smoke all day, they may be growing it. Are they smoking in front of the house or to the rear? Useful to know when you 'dob a dork'.

            I don't like the smell of coffee, and now it is brewing in every bookshop and supermarket. So many no-go areas now.

              Tough one. I wouldn't have a problem with my neighbour doing it but I can see its not fair to have the smell coming in your house. I think your neighbour is being a bit out of order smoking it so casually that it's actually blowing in to your house. What you can do about it short of having a nice quiet word or grassing him up I don't know!

                Your neighbour probably doesn't realise the smoke is even going that far!!

                My mrs can smell me having a cig (embassy no1) outside the back door when she's in bed - on top floor (3 storeys up)!

                Nuts what non smokers can smell that a smoker can't.

                So if it was me, I'd just say do you mind going down the garden a bit as smoke rises and it's coming in my house. They'll probably just say sorry - stoners aren't likely to be abusive.

                  lol I think nids has a valid point, I think he will be more chuffed you had a quiet word if you come across as not bothered he does it, but wouldn't mind if he moved.

                      I don't know if you still come to this forum. Notwithstanding not wanting to get the police involved, the landlord will just direct you to the council as this is an environmental issue. However, it could also be grounds to review your rent with the landlord as this is a contract is just not acceptable, and I do not blame you in the slightest. You signed your 12 month tenancy on certain terms which includes a property free from nuisance neighbours, no pungent smells permeating into the property from illegal substances. You may have grounds to end your contract or ask your landlord to put you in another property more suitable, in addition to you possibly claiming damages for potential contract or covenant breach..

                        Are you quite sure?

                        I don't see how I (hypothetically speaking) can argue my rent with my landlord (LL-1) when my neighbour smokes weed & has hippy parties if his landlord (LL-2) is nothing to do with me or my landlord. It's a bit like me being your neighbour and you revving your engine at 5am - it's really nothing to do with my landlord is it? How can they be responsible for another's actions?

                        Can you elaborate please?

                        PlanB - can you shed some light please

                          I agree with Niddy. How can TM's Landlord possibly be responsible for the behaviour of a third party?

                          None of us have seen the AST (contract) but as a Landlord myself I have never seen a contract with a clause promising no nuisance from neighbours because it would be impossible to enforce it.

                          Please don't raise our member's expectations of a rent reduction and/or a claim for damages against his Landlord because there would be no legal grounds for this. Just as there would be no legal obligation for the Landlord to move the OP to another property.

                            The law would simply regard it as a terrible state of affairs if all Landlords leased their properties without telling the tenants any pertinent information. I would seek to end any covenants, or putting it another way, would it be fair for the landlord to have to live in conditions with a pungent substance aroma? The duty is therefore on the landlord to do something about it. It should not be left for the tenant to deal with this. He is merely in possession of the property whereas the landlord is responsible for ensuring the property description matches the tenancy agreement.
