Debra, Expert

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

Debra, Expert

Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can. Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

Is this about smoking inside your unit?

Customer
it is.
Customer
I try to have ventilation going such as the air conditioning fan open window covering vents going upstairs
Customer
Tried to explain this isn't recreational. IT'S MEDICINE.
I get too bad go outside.
I try to explain that's like taking migraine medication at a ROCK CONCERT

Customer

She complained
Customer

The law is that your landlord has a duty to accommodate your disability. The accommodation has to be reasonable and accommodating you cannot cause your landlord to undergo undue hardship. If the tenant upstairs is complaining about the smoke your landlord will be able to say that that causes undue hardship because you can't disturb other tenants. Unfortunately for this reason this could be grounds for your eviction.

The same would hold true with the smudging. You can't interfere with another tenant's right to peaceful enjoyment other home.

Do you see what I mean?

Customer
I do

Debra, Expert

I'm not an expert on cannabis but cant you purchase devices that help contain the smoke. Perhaps you should look into that?

Customer
Vaping
Customer
I have a vape pen

Debra, Expert

Well people vape at home all the time and it doesn't seem to bother anyone else in the home so I would think that that would work.

Customer
Thank you your service.
