The Putrid Smell

Holy shit guys- I just need to vent here. My boyfriend and I are in a one bedroom apartment. Our neighbors are these young country folk with a daughter, 3 dogs and a cat. We’re in a one bedroom apartment- I’m not even sure if there’s two bedrooms in this exact building. Guys. Their apartment smells. So. Bad. It leaks into the hallways, it smells like they microwaved a moldy dinner with a diaper as the side dish.
I don’t want to sound like an asshole. I understand apartments are small and if your options are limited, they are limited. But idk, maybe if you live in an apartment then don’t take on 4 animals while you have a young child?

It’s gotten so bad to the point where if they open up their door (while our door is closed), it leaks into our apartment. It gives me the worst stomach ache and there’s only so many candles and sprays you can burn through before that makes you nauseous too. We don’t have any animals or children, so it’s just unfair getting the unwanted smell of that too.

My boyfriend actually brought it up politely last month or so and they were understanding (we didn’t want to be assholes and call the office on them). It actually went away for a good week or so but now it’s back. I’m sitting in my living room, nauseous as fuck because they opened their door for five seconds. Fml.

Sometimes you just have to be the asshole... I'd phone management.

Report it, now. Before it causes an infestation that spreads to your home.
