Fed up with my house stinking of weed from the students smoking next door

AIBU to call the university/the landlord/the police?

We've asked politely so many times to keep the music and conversation down late at night, and to smoke over the other side of house. Things were bad last summer but have been quieter over the winter. In the last few weeks it has really picked up again.

Our doors and windows are closed, but my hallway and landing stink. I have a DC doing GCSEs who is keep awake when they sit outside talking late at night, just below the bedroom.

DH and I decided to go round when they are all there and explain that this is the last warning. Or should just I ring 101 tonight? Will the police do anything?

Go round and threaten them with a he old bill. As a weed smoker myself, that would shock me into action.

Also, get some patchouli incense sticks, STAT.

The police won’t do anything.

Any chance that they’re dealing? Police will be round sharpish for that. Just sayin.

Call the landlord, and tell him/her you’ll be calling the police the very next time it happens.

I would contact landlord/uni rather than police tbh but yes, go round and try once more to get them to be more considerate and if no change then make the calls.

Give them a final warning, it's unlikely police will do anything unless dealing is suspected. If they do it again call the landlord.

I've no evidence they're dealing.

So the police are unlikely to do anything? I guess we try the landlord.

Praying they move out in July and don't stay another year.

Contact the university & the landlord.
Not sure which department within the uni but they hate any bad publicity or bad things to do with uni so definitely will try to help.

Uni are a good shout too OP, they don't like students 'bringing them into disrepute' so it's in their interests to help.

One of my first uni flat mates smoked weed in our flat constantly. I have no problem with it generally but it was constant and our Flat stank. We asked her to do something about it but in the end we had to report it because when random inspections happened we would have all been in deep shit. Try the landlord. Some police forces in uni towns have a student liaison to deal with angry neighbours, might be worth checking!

police did do something here. they raided the downstairs flat after numerous complaints. the bloody stuff came up through the walls.

Ok, will try landlord, uni, and see if there is a police liaison.

I'm sure they are as irritated with us cramping their style as we are with them. But DH works from home, and has meetings here in the evenings, and the house smelling of weed is not good. To say nothing of having it waft through the hallways most days, and the family having to smell it.

Uni won’t do anything unless it’s university owned accomadation. I’ve got a guy in my halls who smokes weed constantly but because it’s not university owned halls they weren’t interested unless I made a formal complaint.

BlackeyedSusan, that sounds horrible. The smell is incredibly pervasive.

YANBU. We've got a family two doors down from us and I can smell weed in my car/ garage when they smoke it.

Just call the police saying you suspect dealing.

Just call the police saying you suspect dealing.

So lie and use up already scarce resources? Great idea

Besides it would take more than one phone call from a neighbour for a judge to grant a warrant for them to enter the premises.
