Wondering if anyone has successfully dealt with nuisance adjacent properties/neighbors through suing or other legal means. We are having problems with the dope smoking neighbors and the stench coming through into our home, front yard, backyard.

For not having a manager that OP can speak to. |

We are beyond that. We have spent considerable time and money trying to fix issue on our end. It has helped greatly. It is still coming through. At this point, we can throw more money and time at it, or sue the neighbor. We are going to have to spend money either way. So the legal battle would be less work on our end.
Already talked to the neighbor and they have done little to mitigate it. thanks. |

| Would you attempt the same if you lived next door to cigarette smokers? |

| No you can’t sue your pot head neighbors. And if you can’t beat ‘em you might as well join ‘em. |

| We moved. Cheaper and guaranteed to work. |

If there is a shared wall, there is established case law for this. Depending on where the OP lives and facts, OP may have a case. |

| Sue for what, exactly, given that what they're doing is legal? |

Are you allowed to smoke pot outside? |

| OP, if they're on private property and not in what's considered the "public parking" portion of the property, I can't imagine how you could sue them successfully -- what they're doing is legal. |

| You know that you need a cause of action to sue, right? What is your cause of action? You can't just "sue the neighbors for smoking pot." |
