re: Blocking weed smell in an apartment, need help

Depending on location, the cops may not be willing to come to a call about weed even if it's illegal. When the weed smell is really bad, he should call them and tell them it sounds like someone is getting their arse beaten in that apartment.

Re: Request for Remediation of Marijuana Odor Affecting Tenant’s Apartment at [Apartment Address]

Dear [Landlord’s Name or Property Management Company],

I am writing on behalf of my client, [Tenant’s Full Name], a tenant residing at [Apartment Address], regarding a persistent and overwhelming marijuana odor emanating from a neighboring unit that is materially affecting their right to quiet enjoyment and the habitability of their apartment. This issue requires your immediate attention pursuant to Texas law and the terms of the lease agreement.

My client has reported that the strong smell of marijuana regularly seeps into their apartment through shared walls, vents, or other means, resulting in their clothing and personal belongings retaining the odor and significantly disrupting their ability to enjoy their living space. This situation has persisted despite my client’s attempts to mitigate the issue independently, such as using air purifiers and sealing vents.

Under Texas Property Code § 92.052, landlords are obligated to maintain residential premises in a habitable condition, addressing conditions that materially affect the health or safety of tenants. Additionally, the implied warranty of habitability, as recognized in Kamarath v. Bennett, 568 S.W.2d 658 (Tex. 1978), requires that leased premises remain suitable for residential use. The pervasive marijuana odor, which interferes with my client’s quiet enjoyment and renders their apartment less habitable, constitutes a breach of these obligations. Furthermore, if your property’s lease agreement includes a no-smoking policy or prohibits activities that disturb other tenants, the responsible party may also be in violation of those terms.

We hereby request that you investigate the source of the marijuana odor and take immediate steps to remedy the situation. Potential remedies may include, but are not limited to:

Identifying and addressing the responsible tenant, including enforcing any applicable lease provisions prohibiting smoking or disruptive behavior.

Implementing physical mitigation measures, such as sealing shared vents or walls, installing air filtration systems, or relocating my client to a comparable unit free of such disturbances.

Ensuring compliance with Texas law, noting that recreational marijuana use remains illegal under Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.120.

Please consider this letter formal notice under Texas Property Code § 92.052, requiring you to address this issue within a reasonable time, typically seven (7) days from receipt of this letter. Should the issue persist without adequate resolution, my client reserves the right to pursue all available remedies, including but not limited to termination of the lease, repair-and-deduct remedies under § 92.0561, or legal action for damages and injunctive relief.

We trust you will address this matter promptly to avoid further escalation. Please contact me at [Attorney’s Phone Number] or [Attorney’s Email Address] within seven (7) days to confirm receipt of this letter and outline the steps you will take to resolve the issue. My client is eager to resolve this matter amicably and continue their tenancy in a habitable environment.

Sincerely,
[Attorney’s Full Name]

The problem is people not weed.

This can be said about almost every single societal problem.

Trash/litter? People
Crime? People
Traffic? People
Homelessness? People
Immigration? People

People simply won’t get out of their own way and then they will bitch about the problems they caused themselves.

Could that not have been a literal skunk?

Probably after a trip to Taco Bell cause of the munchies no doubt


Let the smoke clear then think some more on the subject

as far as your clothes go, get some garment bags and put some activated charcoal odor absorbers in with the clothes

that should keep it off the clothes until you can move

Manners are free kids.

Folks smoke weed in my apartment building and it’s coming through the walls that are shared between the apartment above me.

Sometimes, you just have to shoot the messenger.

It’s usually not the kind of victim that gets heavily investigated. Cops just assume they signed up for it.
