Marietta, GA asked in Landlord - Tenant for Georgia

Q: What can I do about a smoker in my non smoking building? Mgr says she has given them a letter of lease violation.

She says they have to wait for the routine maintenance schedule to check the filters for smoke. I’m having health issues that I think are related to the smoking. The smell comes into my apartment through the vents.

A: You can send a letter to the tenant noting the nuisance and informing him/her if it doesn't stop, you intend to sue her.
