Do I have the right to get out of a lease if my landlord's smoking bothers me?
We live in the lower half of a double and when my landlord lights up it becomes very bothersome. Do we have any recourse to get out of the lease?

Most likely not, there's probably nothing in the lease about it being a smoke free building, that's probably something you should have investigated prior to signing if your that concerned about smoke. Also, does it really bother you or are you just looking for a reason to get out, someone's smoke in a totally different section of the apt or house can't bother you all that much.

If you can get a doctor to give you a medical note about it, you might be able to get out of it.

Did you know when you rented that your landlord smoked? If so, then you probably don't have any recourse. If you didn't know ahead of time then perhaps you can get out of it. You would need to contact a lawyer who specializes in rental contracts.
Good luck!


cheryl v
probally not if you knew this before you moved in


Craig T
extremely doubtful


Alterfemego
Probably not.

It might be tough to prove that too much smoke permeates the floor .
Can you get pics of the smoke ?

I believe health hazards are an out , but proving smoke from a separate unit may be tough .

first check local laws, if its an allergen to you or is irritating then i believe that you have the right to back out, ask the landlord if you can just back out first though, and really play up that it irritates you, and even if you don't have allergies, say you have really bad ones, and sneeze while you talk to him. or depending on the terms of the lease, get evicted, that might help, then again, future landlords wont be as inclined to let you rent if you've been evicted

Possibly.

Do an internet search for renters rights in your state. Some states have things such as "renter has a right to a safe environment". With all the smoking issues now about second hand smoke, you may very well have some recourse.
