Living in an apartment can be complicated when you have inconsiderate neighbors.

The following story involves a man whose peaceful apartment life has changed when new neighbors moved into the unit below him.

They frequently smoke on their balcony and throw cigarette ends out the window.

The smell began affecting his mornings and even forced him to keep his laundry indoors.

Yikes! That would have been really annoying! Read the full story below for all the details.

Neighbors constantly smoking cigs on the balcony below me, can’t stand the stench

I have been living in my apartment in Poland for years.

It was peaceful until the family below me moved out and these new guys moved in.

Almost immediately, they started smoking and throwing out their cigarette butts out the window.

One day, I got tired of this and knocked on their door.

I politely asked them to stop throwing their crap out the window and to stop smoking on the balcony.

Mind you, they live on the 3rd floor, and there are benches outside a few steps from the apartment block.

This man caught his neighbors in the act.

They said, “We don’t know who’s doing that, sorry.”

Both of them were clearly embarrassed, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

I caught them in the act. I told the woman below me to go and pick that up.

I told her that they are the only ones smoking in the whole apartment.

She said fine and picked most of them up.

He hates the smell of cigarettes.

The problem is they keep smoking, and I despise the smell.

Every time I open my balcony in the morning to get some fresh air, I’m greeted by the stench of cigarettes.

And no, they don’t smoke once a day. It’s at least 4.

I have to keep my laundry indoors because it soaks up the smell.

Now, he’s clueless about how to deal with them.

Literally, I have no idea what to do. I own my house, so there is no landlord.

I talked to the management, and he said he’s gonna do something about it, which he didn’t.

Any advice? I Was thinking about reporting it to the authorities, as it could be a fire hazard.

But I don’t want to take drastic measures for now. Maybe some posters will scare them.

Anyone else had amazing neighbors like these?

Ugh! They sound like very inconsiderate neighbors who don’t care about the people around them.

I can understand how frustrating it is to have cigarette smoke constantly drifting into your home.

OP should start documenting the incidents and report them to management.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this.

Lol. Short and sarcastic.

This person makes a valid point.

Here’s a similar thought.

A polite smoker speaks up.

Nothing says fresh morning air like a stinky cigarette smell from downstairs. Ugh!
