Tenants smoking pot in garage..

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by schubunny, Sep 26, 2012.

  1. We have had new tenants move in downstairs (we own a hour and rent out the basement).

    The guy smokes pot, and so do we. We told him to use the garage to smoke as the apartment is smoke free, also it would be good for the cold months.

    We have been having an issue. He has been toking with the garage door open, so anyone walking by and the neighbors across the street could see him toking on his bong if they wanted. He also keeps the small bong on the table in view.

    We have already told him we didn't like that and that someone could call the cops if they wanted. He just said if they did he would be the one to get in trouble, not us.

    What is your opinion on this? We have a hard time talking to him about anything, it will usually be deflected. I was thinking of bringing it up again when I go buy the new garbage can, but is it worth bothering?
     
  2. match dude
     
  3. Kick his ass out if he does not listen.
     

  4. ?


    Not sure what you mean. Can you go into detail?
     
  5. If you own the house, I'm pretty sure you can tell him to just close the garage door.
     
  6. challenge him to a rap battle.
     

  7. We tried that for something else he did (that was dangerous). But he apologized and replaced what he had damaged and hasn't done anything that stupid since -minus this.
     

  8. The boyfriend just nods to anything the guy says and doesn't do anything. I just don't think he wants to deal with it. I myself have insane social anxiety.
     
  9. Close it for him.
     
  10. ^^^

    If you beat him straight up in a rap battle, that bitch will have to give you respect.
     

  11. I thought about that.

    The problem is every solution leads to confrontation. I guess I can't avoid it huh?
     
  12. Thats exactly what you do. You want the door closed...you close it yourself. When he asks you why you closed the garage door, you say "because I wanted it shut".

    The issue with people like this is exactly what youve said, confrontation. I too have insane social anxiety and I lived in the exact same situation, but much much worse, I can garuntee you that.

    The simple solution is confrontation. You hold all the leverage in this, you know it, he knows it. But if he's like the person I know, theyll act more or less oblivious to the fact they hold none, and only take one thing in to account, and thats confrontation. Are you willing to truly confront them? And by that I mean lay down the law, and tell it like it is straight to his face.

    The person I lived with was mentally unstable, was completely in a place of no leverage, knew it, but walked around like they ran the place, and to top it all off they would blow up over the smallest things.

    They stopped when someone finally was willing to confront them, and tell them how it was going to be from now on.

    Its a win win situation for you honestly. If he does it on his own, problem solved. If you keep having to do it and he doesnt want to live there anymore, hes gone, problem solved. If he flat out doesnt like being confronted and leaves, problem solved.

    But you should take care of this asap. There are some people who just seem to be able to walk around anywhere smoking, or do anything smoking related in full view, and never get hassled by the cops, ever. But when you do get that knock on the door, its not just him getting the heat. Youve got weed too, and just because whats his is his, doesnt mean it wont be your fault when its found on YOUR property, regardless of whether they find yours too. I doubt the cops would search your house honestly. If they do show up it might just make him do what you wanted in the first place. But on the other hand, if they find anything in that house thats not physically on him, its your fault, and even if its more or less in his "possesion", whats stopping him from blaming you?

    Point is, dont be scared. If you dont grow a pair the guy is going to walk all over you, and possibly get you fucked up with the law.

    +1

    Exactly what he said.

    You own the house, what are you afraid of? Depending on your state, you can pretty much beat him into the ground legally if he refuses to leave. But that's if he refuses to get out if he doesn't comply with a simple demand.

    Honestly I would tell him straight up, "hey. Don't leave that door open. I don't want anyone seeing that. If you go down, I go down, and I'll be damned if that happens. So shut the fuckin door, or just live somewhere else."

    Make sure he knows who wears the pants in that house too. Pull fuckin rank, you own the place. There's not a damn thing the guy can say to you. It's yours not his, and you control what goes inside of it. Including certain doors staying shut.

    Plain and simple, tell him if he doesn't to just go fuck himself....
     
  15. What if you made a giant stew in there of all the nasty shit you possibly could? Piss, shit (all kinds), earwax, snot, boogers, smokers cough gunk, runs juice, sweat, eye crusties, pubes, skeet, period blood (used tampon included), squirt liquid, and vomit. :yummy:

    Imagine the look on his face when it all just started spraying like a sprinkler all in to the bowl and shit.
     


  16. Tell him not to do it.

    Don't tell him that you don't like it. Tell him as his landlord that he needs to shut the garage door if he's going to smoke weed in there.

    If you only tell him that you don't like it and that you'd rather he keep it shut, that's a request. Don't make a request. Demand that he keeps the damn door closed. :poke:
     
  17. sounds like something you would see on those crazy japanese shows from the 90s
     
  18. Maybe if you're too afraid to confront him directly, you could compromise for him to at least leave it just cracked so that there's ventilation but people can't see what's going on?
     
  19. Sack up an tell him how it is.
     
  20. He is paying rent, so he can do with the garage door whatever he wants. If you don't like what he does, kick him out.
