My downstairs neighbors have started burning this really intense rosemary oil incense crap. They have their windows wide open and the door open with a fan blowing outside. It just seeps into our apartment and we have to run a air purifier and keep the windows closed. My husband went down and talked to them and they said "They can't even smell it. It's just rosemary." He asked them if they could not have the fan blowing it out and they blew him off. He mentioned politely that our kiddo has an inhaler and its just super strong and if there was anything they could do to tone it down.
They just keep burning it.
I checked the lease and there is nothing in it about this stuff.
We are planning on moving in the next few months, but in the meantime I'm not sure how to manage this. If we go to the apartment manager they will just get enraged that we "tattled" on them.
I think this may be a case of we live in an apartment and just have to deal.
I'm thinking of trying to talk them about it again, but not sure how to approach it.
Generally speaking they are loud, obnoxious and have late night parties, smoke week and are total white trash idiots. The boyfriend is one of those guys who is always going on how nothing is ever his fault and he's rarely working. He's a "handy man".
Any suggestions? Or am I just screwed on this one?
I'd say call the cops the next time you smell the weed. But, that might make things worse.
You need to find a new apartment ASAP, I think.
Sorry to hear that you have rotten neighbors, Bonny.
I think Bonny's in CA, and it's pretty much legal there with a medical card. When I've been out there for shows, it seems like everyone (at the shows) is smoking weed. They all have "cards"...

Yeah, its ****ing disgusting to go to a concert here.

I was shocked. It's horrible...

I'm afraid to take kiddo to summer concerts here in the park for fear of a contact high. Its really too bad because there are a lot of cool free afternoon and early evening events.
If you spoke to the neighbors and that did nothing, next step is to talk to the manager or land lord.
This is your child's health. Not just an annoyance.

Every tenant has the right to "quiet enjoyment" of their premises. If cigarette smoke wafting in is such that it interferes with that enjoyment, the landlord has a duty to make the offending tenant stop or quit (move out). But you'll have to convince the landlord of this. Some leases contain a "no smoking" clause. Check yours.
I understand that it's the incense that is the problem, but I would argue that smoke is smoke, regardless of whether it's cigarette, pot, or incense.
Another alternative is to sue the tenant for creating a private nuisance (interfering with your ability to use and enjoy your property).
Personally, I think I would find a new place to live, if your landlord refuses to act. Find a place that includes a no smoking clause in its lease.
I hated living in apartments. I would rather live in a tent than an apartment again.
I hope you find the right home soon.

Just a little off track here. I thought that owners could no longer choose tenants but were required to rent to anyone who had the financial means to pay for the apartment. Remember a big hoopla about this in California in the 60's and then the law was passed....
They blow the scent out for the same reason that people install huge speakers and huge amplifiers in their cars, and drive around with their "music" shaking the buildings and breaking windows as they drive by.
They want to make sure people notice them, and show that they can dominate anyone they want to.
I ruled out a Molotov C0cktail because it would burn you out too.
Maybe have a leak so their ceiling gets soaked and falls down???
No, complain to the landlord. Daily. Hourly.
I knew someone who would just Superglue their door shut. But not if there are surveillance cameras in the hallways.
Maybe call the fire department so they can come and extinguish the fire?
Let's see ... do you possibly have a supply of dirty diapers you could send them?
Drop a hint that guys who do this cr@p are compensating because they have tiny penises?

I feel kind of limited, because if I start a stupid war I still have to live there. We are going to move, but I wanted to be able to take our time and just find the exact right place.
These are the type of people to retaliate if we complain too much. Just such low class jerks. Its really the BF that's a problem and he;s not even on the lease. CA gives all the rights to tenants, so it;s hard for the landlord to do much.
I will try to talk to them one more time, with baby and inhaler in hand. See if that works.

You know what is best. It still sucks for you though.
