When we first moved into our town house we thought our dreams were coming true. My husband finally has a great job in a small town and all seemed to be going well. Our neighbor even seemed like a nice people UNTIL one day we were sitting in our livingroom and my husband walked into our bathroom. When you're in this bathroom you can smell EVERYTHING next door. He said he smelled marijuana. I asked him if he was sure and he said "Yes, it's very distinctive." I was irate!! He knocked on the neighbor's door and told him we could smell it. He got very paranoid and started asking if we were gonna tell the land lord and talking crap about "I've lived here a long time and I'm not saying I run this part of town or anything" Crap like that. We flat out told him what he does behind his doors is his business, but we don't wanna know about it and that includes smelling it! He swore to us it would never happen again. So for the last few weeks it's been ok except for when he smokes cigs we can smell that in the bathroom. Until tonight, I went in there and sure enough I smelled it again!!
Now, I shouldn't have to move. But if I tell our land lord about this or the police we have to worry about restribution. I wish and pray they'd just move away. I've been told CPS has been over there before as they have 2 kids and he's called the police on her before for her abusing him. What kind of family IS this??
So, I don't know what to do. Do I tell our land lord? Do I call the police? Do I move? Why should I move?? I pay my rent I am quiet and obey the law. I'm sure our landlord would much rather have us here than them. Plus they have this dog that they got recently that they let just run all over the place, it's constantly jumping on us, our guests it's just gotten to the point of I take it anymore.
It's just not right when law abiding people can't live in peace without being subjected to what their neighbors are doing.
