I live in a 3 bed house and love it where I am. Over the last few weeks, all we can smell is weed in our house. We know it’s the next door neighbors, but it’s such a strong smell, we think they could be growing it. You can literally smell it lying in bed at night. If weed is grown in the home, does it smell like it would if it is being smoked? As it’s exactly the same smell. It’s getting me and my partner so down in the dumps as our 1 year old is breathing this in and we’ve constantly got plug it ins on to get rid of the smell.

As it’s a council home, we have looked at swapping with someone, so that we don’t have to put up with the neighbors. I’m sad at this as I love the house I’m and feel pressured into moving out.

We don’t want to say something to the neighbor as he’s a rough neck and is friends with loads of nutters. He has party’s in his home most nights and plays that annoying niche music. I just don’t know what to do. The land lady of the property is as scummy as the lodger, and so we don’t know what to do. We can’t report them to the land lady and so we feel totally trapped.

I probably would be happy to move, but all the people that are interested in our home can only offer us 2 bedroom. So not only am I losing a room, I’m more or less being bullied out of my home.
What would you do and what can I do legally? I don’t want the neighbor to know we’ve done anything such as grass, as I have to bring my daughter up there and don’t want any trouble. Plus my partner is always working away and so don’t want any trouble at my door!!!

people upstairs in my flat were dealing, had people coming in and out all day. I had a word and said 'I dont care what you do or smoke but keep the dealing away from the flat' I lived above Indian so it wasnt fair on their business for it to be known around own as where to get drugs.

the scent alone of the plants will not harm you or your children, so try not to worry about that.
if it actual smoke you can smell, i would go along all your skirting board and crack in the ceiling etc etc an seal them up

i get all sorts of smells from next door coming through the skirting and floorboards
