Roof caved in landlord complaining about blunt smoke?

chodoWell you did say you hit him up about the roof falling in, so he kind of has to show up about that. You probably should have anticipated that.

But if he wants to be a real dick, and the lease says no smoking, he could evict you. But that seems a little excessive.

Just don't do drugs, mmmkay

THEDIRTYBUBBLENo way that he could be evicted for that. Renters are heavily protected.

My landlord earlier said it was ok to smoke weed in the house. Just the other day he came by tripping out that the house smells like too much weed and he said its going to take months to get rid of the smell? I find that hard to believe even thought the house does reek.
Every time the dude comes by he has to crack the windows open and says, "it smells too much like weed in here". Just the other day he said that we smoked too much weed in the house and said to move it outside and is threatening to take 1,400 for cleaning services.

How can i get the smell out? I want that 1,400 back or a gold chain.

I stopped smoking 3 days ago and there are some smells lingering for sure, the parents notice it still when they stop by.

.MASSHOLE.But OP, I thought your landlord already knew.

cornholionot to mention that smoke is known to weaken the properties of wood and cause it to deteriorate much quicker, i wouldn't be surprised if he sends you a bill for the roof now that he has proof you're the cause.

TingaIf the lease explicitly says no smoking then yes the landlord can do something about it. However you can also do something about living in a house with a fallen in roof. these are two separate incidences so they can both be brought up. If all he did was call your parents then I would consider yourself lucky for violating the terms of the lease.

SVmikeSo are landlords. If stated explicitly in the text of the lease he can definitely start the eviction with a 30 day quit or move. In reality it will cost him way more in legal fees to get this going so you will most likely not hear anything. He can try and get you to move with a quit notice but that will take upwards of three months to work its way through the courts. My bet is you will lose you deposit for the "smell" and good luck using him as a reference on future rentals. Not to be a dick but weeds legal in your state not by the feds, He is just covering his own ass. That being said calling your folks....... That's just lame.
Landlord myself

ComptonKushMy roof got screwed. They had this leak because they clogged up their gutters never cleaned them. It rained like 25 inches in about a month and caved in my roof in a room. Its fuucked. I complained about it for 4 months.

I was sitting in my living room smoking a blunt this girl rolled up because the roof was fucked and I was freaking out. Then the landlord stops by without notice after I text the dude the roof fell in.

He walks in a and sees a bunch of smoke, a blunt two other girls in the living room and some fifths laying around.

He then says, "oh sorry about the roof. I should have fixed that earlier." yeah brah much earlier. I pay him 1,500 a month so something should get fixed.

Anyways he then emails my parents I am smoking weed and stuff in the house. They dont even pay rent they are just co-signers. Haha whats the dudes deal? The roof fell the fuck in where someone was living and smoking is what he is concerned about. I pay the rent and he just tells my parents I am smoking weed in the house and bitches about that. Haha

The lease says no smoking, but the damn roof caved in and this dude just stopped by unannounced.

Can he do anything about the weed? Its legal out here. I know I shouldn't have been smoking a blunt but I woke up to a roof falling in at 5 am I was hungover and agitated.

ComptonKushThen the landlord stops by without notice after I text the dude the roof fell in.

chodoThis is not true.


But OP, you better just hope your landlord or parents don't find out your NS name is ComptonKush because then theres no doubt your smokin too much dope! Dead man walkin!

PeppermillRenoStop paying rent and stay there for free until the cops kick you out. These cocksuckers asked for it. You can probably make it 4-5 months before that happens. Once the roof gets fixed get your revenge. TEll your mom to block his phone number and email.

CaseyAs a landlord myself I am so grateful for a tenant that works all the time, has money, doesn't have friends over, doesn't smoke, etc. And generally keeps my place in like new condition.

If I were your landlord I would probably be irritated that you smoke in the house to the point that I would keep a portion of your damage deposit to deep clean the place after you left, thanks a lot for stinking up my house, prick.

But if I were you I would withhold paying rent until the house is returned to the condition it was in when you signed the lease. Or until you have some binding agreement if you don't think you have the leverage because of the condition you are keeping the house in. Bottom line is you gotta have a roof. Its winter for fucks sake.

Sno.why is the "cocksucker asking for it"?

The landlord is upset that he is breaking the rules of the lease...and he's a cocksucker?

I'm a landlord, and pieces of shit like you who squat in units until the "cops kick you out," are the worst people on earth. Shame on you.

PeppermillRenoThat was a little extreme.

But it sounds like he had been a great tenant prior to this and he should be using his rights and with holding rent until things like the roof are fixed.

I know landlords have costs and all that but they just don't deserve the money if the person is living with that big a problem.

If the situation is unlivable for OP and this dude has crossed the line only solution is to get some free months rent and then find a new spot.

Sno.First of all, OP is a troll so this story is likely fake.

But if it were real, the landlord has the opportunity to get the problem fixed for the tenant. If the place is not livable in the meantime, the landlord should be putting the tenant up in a hotel. OP did'n't say the landlord wasn't going to fix the roof or didn't offer to make the repairs, so I only assumed your idea of withholding rent and squatting to get revenge was in response to the landlord complaining about the pot smoke and contacting his parents.

OPs main post is much more about the pot smoke than the roof--sounds like the roof has problems and the landlord has agreed to make the repairs but both agreed that he should have gotten on the repairs sooner.

if the unit is not habitable, and the landlord refuses to make timely repairs, then OP can move out and will not be liable for breach of contract.

ComptonKushIts still not fixed, the landlord is trippin out about the costs and wants to sell the house immediately. He told me I need to move out in a month so he can do some fixes and the roof is still fucked. My lease is good for like 9-10 months still. They don't even have solid proof of smoking the ganja indoors.
