Tenant marijuana smoking nuisance

Brooke Roundy

Posted

I have a four unit building in Cleveland, one unit is an STR listed on Airbnb and the rest are LTRs. One of my LTR tenants is a heavy marijuana smoker and the smell is invading my Airbnb. I have now received numerous complaints and it is impacting my rating. My LTR lease does not say no smoking inside. I know which tenant is causing the problem (although might be difficult to prove it's one tenant over another), and I know I cannot evict for illegal drug use because weed is legal in Ohio, so I am looking for other remedies. Has anyone dealt with something like this before? (and yes I understand this will not constitute legal advice, just gathering information). Thank you!

    I'd do what @Wesley W. is suggesting. But then again, I'm just sick and tired of the smell of weed coming out of my apartments, as it is so very closely related to late rent and other habitual-loser shenanigans.
