How do you deal with a neighboring apartment that smells SO bad that the smell seeps into your apartment? Management says there’s nothing they can do.

There might be policies in state/district renting laws that refer to your neighbour impeding on your ability to use your home. You might be able to use that to make a case to your apartment management to either release you from the lease or move you to a new space.

Seriously, have you tried talking to your neighbor? Maybe there are legitimate health issues going on....

I would start by simply introducing myself as their neighbor.

Lysol bomb them.

Seems simple, but have you tried knocking on their door and chatting with them? Maybe you cite allergies or sensitivity to smells to soften the blow

Where? Probably not much can be done. I had to buy heavy duty air purifier, air fresheners, candles, and fans because my neighbor feels entitled to smoke even while he listens to me choke to death next door. Even then it's only a partial solution. Doctor friends think I have a form of asthma based on my strong bodily reactions. My window is wide open in the winter to save myself. My bedding at one point reeked of smoke. I would have moved out but I own and is a pain to sell with everything else going on in my life. FML.

Colombia heights, good one. That’s probably the culprit. The amount of dogshit on the ground explains the character of the area.

That’s rough

Okay so this is outrageous, but have you seen said neighbor recently? I heard a story where somebody was dead inside for many months. Not saying that’s the case here, just wondering lol

There’s a neighbors whose cigs leak thru the walls on the weekends. Will management really move you in that case?

I previously had neighbors who smoked a ton so I would frequently Febreze outside their door. Febreze has a strong odor but I preferred that over smoke.

I’ve been reading more and more in other financial forums about people refinancing into interest-only mortgages as a means of maximizing cash available for investment. Help me understand the argument for doing this? I’m starting to see it could make a lot of sense for people who 1) have a ton of equity and aren’t worried about the housing market flinching, 2) probably won’t keep their house forever, and 3) already have a high net worth. Thoughts?

Hi! So I got an offer to work for a competitor making about 50k+ more in base. I would be selling a similar solution but to enterprise holding group agencies ie. WPP, Omnicom Etc. I am currently selling into mid market brands and agencies (inbound) and this new role would be outbound focused. Should I leave and go to a competitor for more money with the opportunity to close larger enterprise level deals? Or stay at my current company where im comfortable.
