smoking weed at home?
Discussion
Just for the record I dont smoke weed. I have a tenant that is complaining that they can smell weed from the neighbours house. Now this would not be normally something i would get involved in but my problem is that the neighbouring property is also a house that I own so they too are my tenants!
The reason I ask is because the complaining tenant has asked me to speak to my weed smoking tenants because she smells weed in her kitchen in the morning. The smokers living room abutts her kitchen. Before speaking to them I wanted to check the law.
Ps my weed smoking tenants are model tenants, they both are in full time employment (unlike my complaining neighbour who is on benefits), the rent is paid on time religously, they dont party or play music and my complaining neighbour admits to never hearing a thing from them.
Now my complaining neighbour on the other hand is behind on the rent and is sometimes a bit of a pain in the a**e.
I now have to tell my otherwise model tenants to stop smoking weed! Something I would have prefered not to have to do!
Cheers for the responses.

Update:
First I spoke to the complaining tenant to explain that while i would be speaking to the smoking tenant I was not really in a position and didnt want to start telling him what to do in the four walls he calls home. What i was prepared to do is tell him that the smell is causing her some discomfort and to see if he can do "something diferent" to help. I also explain to her that as she is already aware these tenants are good lads and im sure she could end up with far worse if they were to leave. They never hold parties never play music loud etc etc, in the early hours of a sunday morning they are more likely to be found fishing at the local resorvoir than partying!! she fully understands what im saying and is very happy for me to just bring it to their attention and not to, "lay down the law".
Called around and spoke to the smoking tenant, (only one of them enjoys a smoke) explained to him that the neighbour had asked me to mention to him that her Kitchen has a really strong smell of weed usually in the morning and could I just "mention it to him".
He said he used to have a smoke at the window but the particular "roll ups"
that he smokes are so strong that he was concerned the smoke would waft in through one of her windows. In other words he was trying to help by keeping the window shut! he fully understands because he admits these "rollups" are really strong. his words were "It f*****g Stinks"
He is cool with everything and now that its been brought it to his attention he will smoke his "roll ups" at the other side of the house at the window and this should resolve the problem.
Both tenants happy, Me happy
cheers for all the replies, some of them very amusing.
