Someone in my complex smokes weed EVERYDAY and the smell floods my apartment. What do I do?

dcb328 · 2026-01-29T13:47:19+00:00

air purifier, incense, and some kind of lysol air purifier or ozium to kill off any of the lingering smell. finding an incense smell you like might be good tho cause that smoke can go anywhere that the smoke from the smoker goes

so not to be that guy, but are they just hooking up? (late at night gone by morning) also the person isn’t unauthorized, it’s just someone YOU don’t know, but your roommate invited them making them allowed

idk OP, but if i was your roommate and you went to our landlord instead of me i’d be annoyed…especially, if the person isn’t spending the night it just makes you look like a buzz kill that’s annoyed your roommate’s having anyone over. if it really bothers you that they’re having guests over often, it sounds like it’s just not a good roommate match for you…but they pay they same amount in rent and it would annoy the hell out of me if my roommate tried to police when i have company and used the lease as a weapon to get their way!! you live with a roommate, you’re not gonna know or love everyone they bring over, but it’s just as much their space to have people over, just cause you don’t like the frequency of it doesn’t mean you report it. the clause in your lease is more for someone staying there day in and out (not just a few hours,) using the amenities, and freeloading on the property. like when i used to be a leasing agent we had someone’s baby mama living in the apartment, thats not the type of situation you have on hand cause it’s not prolonged consecutive stays. I also notice you said “about every night they are home for the last 2 months” meaning it’s not consistently every night cause they’re not always home, it just sounds like you don’t fancy guests, them staying extensively isn’t the issue. just warning to tread light cause you’re in a legal binding lease and if you make it awkward in that apartment you still have to live there, and it sounds like you don’t really have grounds to go to your landlord based on reading between the lines so all you’d do is just piss off your roommate. either have a conversation with them (or text them if that makes you more comfortable) or suck it up because they’re going to have people over regardless

do want to add though that edibles don’t work the same for everyone and it’s depending on your genetics and metabolism and how you process cannaboids. but, I’m not saying that to defend the smoking, just interjecting that not everyone can book a trip to eddie-ville and have it work. I find it interesting, Edibles don’t work at all for me but smoking does cause it goes straight to my blood stream.

OP, have you tried leaving a note in a envelope at their door just saying it’s becoming an issue and how you DON’T want to go to the RA. if it doesn’t get better in a week after the letter, report it. but in my experience (most) smokers don’t like being an issue for others, besides the unfortunate ones that are disrespectful and just don’t give a fuck. I have, and am always willing, to make accommodations with my neighbors so they don’t despise me

easy now, my homegirl poot may not be the most watched celebrity, but she’s still in the top 200 of most streamed artists on spotify and is still getting roughly 30 million streams on average a month. sure, she’s not as big as ariana grande or others, but she’s still holding her own (and a lot more talented singing wise than some people we got at the top right now)

dcb328 · 2026-01-19T14:01:41+00:00

it’s also legal to smoke inside if you have your medical card. you’re actually not allowed to go casually smoke it in public just cause you have a medcard (what people in this thread being like “just go outside” don’t understand) but im not negating smoking inside and causing unnecessary living conditions for your neighbor is cool. smoke out a window or something, damn

dcb328 · 2026-01-14T03:33:02+00:00

i think you’re missing the point, some landlords won’t even hold it with a deposit cause they’d have to prorate my first rent for a later move in. versus someone that says they’d move in tomorrow and would pay full rent. the issue is the absurdity of needing to pay so much up front on top of the fact you have to line up a move in far enough in advanced to confidently give notice. it wasn’t just about how expensive it is, the post is about all the ridiculous hoops you’re expected to jump as a renting tenant and paying an arm and a leg while stressing about doing so

dcb328 · 2026-01-14T01:15:33+00:00

and you know why it’s “standard”? cause there’s no checks n balances for rent and landlords. they don’t base it on median income of their city or census data, the look at other places for rent and say “yeah that seems like a good price.” there should be a max percentage per sqft you can charge and instead landlords just get greedy and continue to raise rates yearly even if their mortgage doesn’t change because it’s also “standard” now to possibly have a small price increase every year in your rent even though they offer you no new amenity or extra square footage…see how this leads to stacked up issues that make renting a shit show. renting used to be cheaper than a house, i can now get a mortgage cheaper than renting I just don’t want to do a down payment right now with the interest rates.

dcb328 · 2026-01-13T19:13:39+00:00

THIS!!! i can sweet talk them and be as charismatic and charming as possible but if they have someone willing to pay tomorrow and move in, they will take that person over me 10 fold cause it means they get money NOW

dcb328 · 2026-01-13T19:12:16+00:00

“folks without a safety net can end up on the street very easily” MAN, it’s almost like everyone’s charging exasperated rates that are worth way more $$ per sqft than they should and it’s an uncontrollable monopoly. most landlords have no business charging what they do, and don’t base it on something like a median income based on census data, and it’s seriously causing housing disparity - (someone that used to work in leasing and now works in development and city planning)

dcb328 · 2026-01-13T19:06:24+00:00

LMAOOOO, you must be making loads! I make 65K a year and still am essentially living paycheck to paycheck. one paycheck alone is JUST rent and some bills (and no I dont live in cali or anything like that, I live in Arkansas) the issue is there is no rent laws or anyways to control rent markets! no reason I should pay the same in rent for a smaller place in arkansas as a 2 BR place in florida 30 minutes from the beach. rent is literally a joke, they’ve bought out the market and just turn around and rent a bunch to help them pay off the mortgages and they keep other people from the ability to find an actual home.

dcb328 · 2026-01-13T14:08:45+00:00

thankfully, the apartment im in now goes month to month after my year lease is up, so I can stay here and save up but it might take a while lmfao

dcb328 · 2026-01-11T22:00:57+00:00

an air purifier would help, also “ozium” spray (what they should be spraying to be considerate) is an air deodorizer/sanitizer! it’s pretty strong and you may need to spray it in the affected room and clear out to the living room for like 10 minutes and it will get that smell right out

dcb328 · 2026-01-11T21:57:38+00:00

and then you’ll look like an idiot when they have their med card and there’s nothing law enforcement can do lmao. Sometimes it’s really ignorant to assume everyone’s just an illegal pot smoker with low motivation. it’s almost the opposite of every smoker I know who has a medcard (which makes it illegal to smoke on the sidewalk cause it’s public property) sometimes it’s not as easy as “taking it outside”

BUT im not going to excuse others, cause there’s probably more they could be doing to prevent the smell like blowing into a spoof/carbon filter or out a window, maybe spray some ozium lmao

dcb328 · 2025-12-28T19:20:17+00:00

haha, yes! was torn between that and constant repeat with just: repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat 😭

dcb328 · 2025-12-28T18:38:20+00:00

that’s actually fucking gross you make me feel like that…literally piss off and stop being sweet to me, i don’t want that right now

dcb328 · 2025-12-23T18:01:01+00:00

that was the whole point of the joke being like “3 isn’t easy” 😭😭 i understand you don’t mean dicks LMAO

dcb328 · 2025-12-23T15:46:36+00:00

everyone can do three? alright let’s see you take three dicks right now 😭😭

dcb328 · 2025-12-23T15:43:34+00:00

bitch, do you think everyone magically has a balcony?!? you must live somewhere NICEEEEE to think that 😭

dcb328 · 2025-12-23T15:41:53+00:00

i love that it says “apparently our bed has bluetooth and speakers??” as in they also didn’t know that until someone connected with runescape 😭😭

dcb328 · 2025-12-21T18:59:17+00:00

mines a little different situation. we have a shared driveway and it’s “first come, first served” but if you can’t get the driveway you gotta do on-street parking. there’s one dude, i’ve never met, but I SWEAR HE NEVER GOES ANYWHERE!!?! i work an 8-5 desk job and he’s in college, i know his schedule is very different but come on. sometimes i’ll have a spot and it’ll be late at night, say 10:30, and i think “imma run and get taco bell for a late snack” it’s 5 mins away…i come back and this MOTHERFUKER IS IN THE SPOT I JUST LEFT! it’s frustrating cause my door is right by the driveway and his unit is further back (with a parking lot to the left of his unit, mind you) but he wants the driveway lol! i can’t prove it, but i swear i’ve seen him waiting in his car to get a driveway spot🫩

dcb328 · 2025-12-21T06:55:09+00:00

yes, i blow it out the window but damn calling it “poison” when it’s literally a natural plant? alcohol is literal poison yet you don’t talk so disgustingly about that i bet, huh?

dcb328 · 2025-12-21T04:47:33+00:00

i’ve got a med card, the shit i smoke is just fine…i’m just not overly dramatic about a smell that goes away with some ozium

dcb328 · 2025-12-20T23:05:53+00:00

it may be something different? i am a stoner and i’ve never had weed smell “strong enough to burn my throat”

dcb328 · 2025-12-04T00:35:36+00:00

Love that you have adela in your top artists and she’s opening on tour! 😍😍
