Tenant smoking marijuana - Landlord Forum thread

Tenant smoking marijuana by Nancy LaMuro on February 20, 2002 @12:28

Hello: Thanks for a great website. I just found it. Before I talk to the lawyer, what do I need to be aware of regarding tenants who are smoking marijuana. The tenants in the apartment next door brought this to my attention. They are bothered by the smell and I don't desire tenants who are using illegal drugs. Thank you.

You can solve 2 problems at the same time. If it's about the drugs, the lawyer should suggest the next step. Probably notifying the tenant that it has come to your attention that illegal activity involving smoking /drugs is taking place in your rental and that the tenants had better desist or legal action will be taken. I have used a lease violation notice in the past for situations like this and it worked. On some people, it might not work, so I'm glad you are meeting with a lawyer. Rocco
