well hate to break it to you but people are gonna do whatever they choose to do. if you don't like your neighbors habit then tell them. grow a backbone and say "hey neighbor please don't smoke around my children,"

if they do nothing then you've done your best, don't be vindictive and try to ruin their life because they are doing something you don't like.
 
...rid someone? ? I need help!! I have been living here in my UPSTAIRS apartment (with my two small children) for six years. I love it here and do not want to move. My parents own this duplex. I am thier daughter. People downstairs are smokers and continually smoke especially at night after we go to sleep. Before they moved in they stated they were going to smoke outside only but this isnt the case. My parents (landlords) have called them many times and they continually lie or state they wont smoke anymore but they always do!! Since then ive boughten two air purifiers and i can still smell the smoke. Our duplex is very old and smoke rises and goes into my place upstairs. My parents wont evict them b/c they pay the rent on time and keep the place clean and do all the yardwork outside.

What are some things i can do indirectly so that they will not want to live here anymore and perhaps leave on their own? Ive tried to play loud music a few times but i end up feeling too guilty and turn it off. Plus i dont want to risk the police coming over.

I need some ideas or plans that i can do without breaking the law that will send these people out of here. They wont leave no matter what b/c the apartment is really nice downstairs but the smoke is unbearable. I dont want my kids to breathe this crap in anymore.

Im not ready to move out.....trying to save money...am a single mom of two. Any ideas will be great.
 
I feel really really bad for you, and your children. I'm sorry you are so unhappy in your living situation. All I can think of is to become an annoying neighbor, calling cops with loud noises, banging on their door for stuff constantly, yelling and playing loud music at night, which you kinda can't do with small kiddies. spill stuff down on their stuff from above since the smoke goes up, liquid can go down, sticky oopsiess my drink fell on your grill. mah bad LOL good luck!
 
??? ASK ANY BAR OWNER WHO INSPECTS FOR SMOKING THERE AND CALL THEM, ITS A HEALTH RISK FOR YOUR CHILDREN,BEST OF LUCK BUT PAYING RENTERS ARE HARD TO FIND, SORRY YOU ARE CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND HARD SPOT...
 
Try talking to your parents and telling them you can cover the yard work and keep the place clean. Also, possibly try and find another person or couple willing to move in after they leave so your parents will not lose any money.
 
Well first of all, if they dont leave your children will develope health problems due to the smoke risng into your apartment (Secondhand Smoke).

I say that you should do something they really dont like. They might end up leaving becuase of annyoingness!
 
Get a copy of the Landlord Tenant Act.........Unless you are the actual Owner of the Apt. they rent YOU alone can do nothing. If they pay their rent and keep the place clean then it's a good reason for your Mom to keep them. Maybe you can ask them nicely to open their windows when they smoke as it really bothers your kids breathing, other than that it's up to the original landlord to evict them and if you pull any stunts on them they can get you for harassment.
Sorry, but you need to cut them some slack or move out. Being a vindictive person and annoying will make them dislike you and they can call the cops on YOU.
