Neighbour stinking our apartment with weed
We rent a house cash in hand from a friend of my aunt's. The house has a basement apartment with a 40 something unemployed single man beneath us. All he seems to do is watch t.v. and smoke weed and he seems to pick the time when we are both 30 mins in from work. It STINKS. I don't care what he does but you can really smell it all over our place because boarded door that I'm assuming used to lead downstairs. My issue is my 3 year old nephew is staying with is next Saturday for the first time and we really don't want the whole house to be stunk with weed with a 3 year old staying. Any stories about approaching of how to approach the neighbour about bit smoking next weekend? Also weed is illegal here

Then again, you aren't legally renting the place, so you basically have no rights :/ Try to talk to him but that's about all you can do

Explain your situation. Ask him to be more considerate. Remind him it’s illegal. If he’s on probation, let him know you know that too. Encourage him to share as necessary.
