My neighbor downstairs smokes in his patio and my apartment smells out of cigarette smoke. I have complained in the leasing office but they state that they only prohibit in common areas and the tenant is free to smoke in his patio. Does the local laws help me in this situation, forbidding / preventing my neighbor to smoke in his patio ? Thanks Leena I stay at Trellis Square in Sunnyvale in CA.
