Have a pellet grill, which is not open flame, and put it on my balcony in Uptown New Orleans. Have been using it up there for about a month and a half. Landlord texted me today, telling me to take it down.

Before I bought the grill, I went through my lease and city code to check and make sure it wasn’t against the rules. I could not find a single thing in city code.

If I’m actually breaking rules, I have no problem taking it down.

Are you white and a Republican? If so, then it’s illegal

I don’t know what the rules are in your lease but a pellet grill can flare up for a number of reasons. I would consider it a safety hazard on a balcony, same as a charcoal or gas grill.

Wait a second, you can carjack and murder people in New Orleans but you can’t grill with an open flame? Y’all city people are strange

Probably is against his insurance companies guidelines. If a fire started from that they could deny your landlords coverage.

It’s not mentioned in the lease, so that’s not really my problem

If your landlord doesn’t want it on his balcony then take it down. You’re breaking his rules.

That is one way to view it.

I'm sure he would just cancel your lease or not renew it.

Is there anything in code about a grill on a balcony?

Could be something in the lease about safety issue or nuisance.

All depends on how liberal the rules are written.

Idk. But if the landlord doesn’t want the grill on his balcony he’ll just find another way to get them out.

I think it’s against city code to shoot people on the interstate, but they do that anyway. You should be good with your smoker.
