We rented the place sight-unseen. When we arrived, the smoke smell from the person below us was nearly intolerable. We hated it, and tried everything to get rid of the smell. We broke our rental agreement after 3 months and moved. It was SO inconsiderate of the cigarette smoker below to ruin OUR experience in our apartment. She had no right to make our lives miserable. And she did make our lives miserable during the 3 months that we lived there.

So she was there before you. You moved in without checking the place out, and she and the landlord are suppose to change the way they live and do business just to accomodate you and your failure to determine the suitability of the apartment to your needs before signing the lease?

I would argue that you made your lives miserable, but that's not as easy to accept as it is to simply blame somebody else.

Boo hoo, do you and your wife wear matching skirts? You sure do whine a lot.

You might want to look up the word 'irony' in the dictionary.

“We rented the place sight-unseen.”

You admit to being willfully ignorant and then go on a rant about how you should be rewarded for your ignorance. Just wait until your attitude carries forward with health care.

Oh, brother! She had a right to do whatever she pleased in her home. You did the right thing. You moved.

You should have embraced the experience.
