Tenant and Marijuana

[Doug Webb]

Ok so I have a duplex with a top unit short-term rental, and a bottom unit long-term rental.  We are in Seattle, and the bottom unit tenants will frequently sit out on their deck below and smoke marijuana (perfectly legal!), which wafts up to the deck and back rooms of the short-term rental above.  I've been told bluntly that our reviews for the short-term rental are not going to be great from the smell.

Any thoughts on how to reason with the tenants below, given what they are doing is perfectly legal?!

@Doug Webb go with me here! LOTS of people who travel to legal states want to partake of lax Cannabis Laws. Why not market the property as “Cannabis Friendly” and RAISE the rent 25-40 a night? You would never have an issue with the smell but rather GLOWING REVIEWS of this amazing space that won’t Fine you $300 for smoking like a chain hotel would?
