Yes you may have a cause of action for nuisance, and you also have a right to quiet enjoyment provided by your landlord. I can write a friendly letter to property managers explaining how moving you would be cheaper than litigating, and how they are actually lucky you are willing to move.

You may contact me for a free consultation.

Your issue may be time sensitive and may result in loss of rights if you do not act in time. Thank you.

The first legal claim that arises is one for nuisance against the neighbors and the property managers. There may be additional claims including breach of your right to quiet enjoyment of the property and others based on unknown facts. The way to handle this situation is to write a letter to both the property manager and the neighbors outlining the problem and proposed solution. I recommend that you contact an attorney for assistance with resolving this problem.

It was recently decided in California that cigarette smoke is considered a nuisance and that property managers and owners are responsible for dealing that nuisance. Pot smoke is no different from cigarette smoke, so your case may fall into the same category and you may be able to force management to pay for your relocation. Good luck........P
