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!!!

I would move.....take the 2 bedroomed house and also the relief form the hassle that you have next door.

Caution.....the neighbours next to your "new" accommodation may be as bad or worse.

I would take the chance and move.
Question Author
I have considered that the new neighbours could be as bad or even worse.. No win situation.
if there is only you, your partner and child, what is wrong with a 2 bed? It shouldnt matter if you lose a 'spare' room if it helps your childs health
If the new government have their way you will soon have to move anyway. You have a spare bedroom that you don't need and that a family with more children would benefit more from.
the sake of losing a bedroom
or your childs long term health??
no contest really is it its not rocket science
