I want to break my lease due to the tenants down stairs continually smoking marijuana, it seeps into our place and it gets on our clothes. Its bad. Whats worse is since the tenant has moved in, our daughter has been having respiratory issues. They have been here for maybe 2 weeks.
I have made 10 complaints with the office, I have called the police and they smelled it as well the moment they walked into my place, but since the tenant did not answer their door, they couldnt do anything. The leasing office is not handling the situation to my satisfaction what so ever. I am told to continue to wait, but that is simply not possible when the residents are hourly smoking weed causing my place to stink.
This isn't the first issue, the previous tenants also would smoke on their patio and it would fly in through our window and stink our entire place. I had to complain 4 times before that was handled. Our building clearly states no smoking within 20 feet of the building.
There is also no smoking allowed in the common areas ( aka the pool ) and we constantly see people smoking at the pool and bringing glass containers which is also not allowed ruining our visit as we have to be vigilant in watching inebriated people handle glass.
I am at my wits end, the place has decaying dog feces everywhere because it is not pickled up making it impossible for us to play with my daughter in any grassy area.
They want me to provide 60 days notice and also pay until the place is leased. I am not willing to do that and will go to arbitration. The most I would be willing to do would be to stay the rest of this month.
After talking with the manager of the complex, I question their ability. There is absolutely no guarantee that Mansions at Woodbridge will be able to vet the next tenant any better than they have the last 2, and seeing as they cant enforce their own rules as it is without multiple complaints, I doubt it will change.
What would you do? Anyone here every get out of their lease without bullshit?
Oh and just to clarify, I dont give a shit if you smoke cigs or weed, just abide by the rules. I have no angst towards either, but seriously get a vaporizer, its much less disgusting. We pay $1850 to live here which is a lot for Dallas area ( Sachse ), and its more like the Slums at Woodbridge with how some of the tenants are. It sucks because there are also some mature nice people here too.
