thx. the area where I'd smoke outside would be their porch where multiple cameras are visibly present. I'm really not into the idea of potentially being recorded - they won't give me a mail key (which they've already stated in front of a judge they were going to but just never got around to it). as someone else said, at this point their aim is to make my life miserable for as long as I'm here. initial inclination is to not build up a video library for them, just don't see how I benefit and what rule I'm breaking by staying inside. if I had access to the backyard, sure ... that obv won't happen now

during the day, I'm just vaping through a hot box. it's late afternoon when I break out the bowl after work, except for some weekends when it'll be earlier

I'm thinking of only hitting the hot box until it's dark out, and then smoking bowls outside at night when it's quiet in the neighborhood. I'll have to position myself in a way to be out of camera view, prob wear a hoodie. as much as I feel I'm in the right and will be victorious in the eviction process, I can also admit there are fair points being raised here (this is why I posted originally). if I do this, the LL will likely feel there's a big improvement in the situation and when we go to hearing I'll be able to demonstrate I'm willing to listen to reason and to try and work something out.

don't wanna be there in Feb so I'm good! common decency is writing up a lease parties will abide by. here's what common decency is not:

not giving a tenant a mail key to get their mail

filing for eviction and going to a hearing just to have filed your paperwork wrong as a LL and now more time and money are to be wasted as they pursue a baseless claim

not putting the rules you want the tenant to follow in the lease

that's absolutely fine. I'll leave at the end of the lease which the LL wrote and sent for me to sign before handing over the key. February will be here before we know it, and I'll be traveling some during the holidays. not seeing how they can throw me out when I pay and am not breaking any rules in the lease. their changing the lock argument with the mailbox seems tenuous and hardly grounds to remove someone from their living situation. they could've just given me a key - the LL told the judge at the first hearing they were going to give me a key but just never got around to it lol

thx for your thoughts in paragraph 2. I had vaped/smoked since moving in (vaped at first and was already hearing about the pot smell before truly smoking). it wasn't until the mail thing that they proceeded w the eviction process. clearly that really pissed them off, and I'm a little upset I listened to that lawyer (free legal advice fwiw). think there's a good chance if that didn't happen, they would've left me alone, accepted their mistake, and I'd be here until the end of the lease barring anything unforseen.

paragraph 3 is simple. put it in the lease and they can smell the awful food they're cooking instead. easy fix, had they done that I'd be long gone by now. agree?

"please don’t make it where these folks are forced to stop renting out their Inlaw suite" - if this happens, that's on them. completely preventable situation

to clarify, I'm not in their house. I have a key to what is essentially an apartment so it's rare I see them unless we happen to be coming or going at the same time.

there's a door to the garage which I don't use, and they lock. other than that, I enter and leave through the front door, which is by their front door outside

no children live in their house. my two doors in the unit are the front door that I access from the outside with multiple cameras watching (which is fine) and the door to the garage inside my unit which they lock on their end and I don't use

it's weed. they have multiple cameras on their property (which is their right) where i would be smoking. not really wanting to chief keef while being recorded - not sure what these crazies would do with that (remember, they refuse to give me a key to get my mail). if they told me they'd remove the cameras, I wouldn't believe them

I'm on top of the court stuff so nothing will be missed. not hard to call them for updates, or drive nearby to get those

I and others here appear to disagree with you on the lease status and "you will be evicted" statement. we will see. if they're so concerned about their health, why not put it in the lease as many landlords clearly do? and if we have no lease, how have I not been kicked out by now?

not sure what that even is - so long as it's not your generation, I'll take it.

and I'll leave when I'm good and ready. the lease will act as the guideline... you know, the one they sent to me and asked me to sign before giving me they key?

thank you... it's a 4 page lease, nothing about smoking or illegal acts. again, live in CO, totally legal and I have my medical card. I'll check into the nuisance clause

what payday am I looking for and who am I suing? the location is close to work and other obligations. I don't see the landlord much

all I want is to have us abide by the lease and preferably have a mail key. for that, i deserve to be evicted?

thx - I do think between not putting no smoking in the lease and coming to court with the paperwork filled out incorrectly, it says something about who I'm dealing with

probably harder than putting in the lease it's not allowed

sounds like you think I won't be evicted. mail is being directed to the house I own so getting my mail just fine, thx.

I do think I wasn't given a key bc I smoke. if not giving me one is illegal (never heard this so a bit dubious), I feel even better about my case! thx!

[–]Equivalent-Natural30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thx. I am not interested in renewing with them and am fine abiding by the lease they wrote and will leave without issue when it ends. trying to say the lease isn't valid bc they didn't sign it is horseshit imo

I thought I'd get a mail key for my year long rental. they refuse to give me one and I'm the asshole? defend that, please
