So, I have lived in my current property for nearly a year.
Everything has been okay after a bit of a rough start. But this past week; the shop below me has someone new working there and they have taken up smoking indoors in the backroom.
The room they are smoking in is directly below where my boiler room is and it is setting off my smoke alarm that is just outside of the boiler room. Every hour from 7am to 10pm I am having to get up and reset it and waft towels infront of it to get it to stop. I am working from home, the alarm is also driving my neighbour nextdoor insane and they are hammering on my walls and have been playing music everynight as "revenge" I guess, they were quiet untill all of this started.
I went down and spoke to the shop about it yesterday they apologised and said they would stop, but this morning at 7am I was once again woken by my smoke alarm they are still doing it and just spraying perfume or airfreshener after doing it, it still stinks, my food in my cupboards that is on a joining wall also stinks. It is making me sick.
I am an ex smoker myself haven't smoked for nearly 2 years though, I am not a prude but I have my limits. The smell is sticking to everything and I can't get rid of it!! I could take the batteries out of the smoke alarm but why should I put myself at risk because they can't be arsed to go outside!!!!!
I have spent all day today stuffing every gap I can find with plastic bags and cardboard in vain. I can smell it still. When I was down on the floor filling the holes the floor smelt like an ashtray.
I also had an electrcian that my landlord sent around 3 days ago, he asked if I smoke in he flat so I guess he could smell it too.
So not only does it make me sick, I am worried that I will be blamed for the smoke smell and lose my deposit or worse and be eveicted I don't know what to do!
Please can someone tell me what I can do to stop this?
