Problem with another tenant smoking marijuana in Apartment Building where I live

By Leah Thomas

What is my rights as a tenant who lives in grand rapids, michigan regarding another tenant in my apratment building smoking marijuana.  Marijuana smoke has been coming from this tenants apartment since they have moved in.  I wrote the instances to the leasing manager.  The leasing manager sent me a letter and said they have gotten several complaints but they were unable to do anything, unless one of the other tenants in building would stand outside the "tenants" door to pinpoint that ‘s where the marijuana smoke is coming from.  Is that appropiate for another tenant to stand outside another tenants door and risk harm to themselves?  I have live in the building for almost 3 yrs and the marijuana smoke started to occur when this new tenant move in.  What should I do about this situation?  Thanks

Um, not care about what other people do with their lives maybe?
Is it hurting you? NO. Leave them be! Worry about yourself instead.

Call the police.
That would teach them a lesson not to leave a stench lingering around! I don’t know if the police can do anything, but they sure can give them potheads a scare!
