I suspect he is too lazy to get the Medical Marijuana card and thus he would be in violation if there is this clause.

Onlyliveonce is correct in that it is best to handle this in a non adversarial manner if possible asking, instead of demanding. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like that is getting through so you will need to go to the next level.
NRS 118A.290 Habitability of dwelling unit.
NRS 118A.350 Failure of landlord to comply with rental agreement.
NRS 118A.355 Failure of landlord to maintain dwelling unit in habitable condition.

Thank you for the links. I don't think it will turn into some full out war, but I'm definitely going to get some kind of resolution. It is my job to make sure my child and pet are safe and I intend to do just that.

Even if he has a medical marijuana card that wouldn't allow him to smoke inside the unit itself if you have a no smoking clause.

When you refer to a no smoking clause, do you mean illegal drugs, because cigarettes are allowed?

[Packrat1]

I mean no smoking inside the apt clause. That would cover marijuana too with or without a medical card. This clause is for fire safety as many apt/house fires are caused by smoking on the couch, bed ect thus the no smoking clause.

If this gets nasty you might find out who the apt's insurance carrier is and let them know that the manager/landlord is allowing prohibited activities that puts the property at risk. Granted that is a drastic step but one you could attempt as a last resort.

Mere moving to another apt isn't really the answer as you might be back to square one with a different tenant or one that moves in later. You might see if they would allow you to terminate the lease without penalties and when you get a new place be sure to write something in the contract about this.

I highly doubt they allow smoking inside the apt.

Ahh, I see. I don't think the lease has this clause as they have tenants who smoke cigarettes. I did read the link and found a few instances where this applies to me. I agree that moving won't solve the problem if I end up with the same issue, different tenant. At this point, I think I would like to terminate because I don't want to live in a hostile environment either. This guy works for the complex and lives next to me, so me ratting him out about illegal activities could cost him his job. I don't feel bad about that, per se, because he should know not to smoke drugs in the very place he works. Thanks for your advice. I will let you all know what comes of the meeting in half an hour.

Here are a couple of links regarding non smoking in apts. The second one is a link to smoke free housing in clark county.

Seems like this thread is taking place over one night. You have to give it some time after seriously talking to the manager and documenting what's to be done.

Vomiting and stomach pain is not from second hand pot smoke. Could be a carbon monoxide leak. Best bet is to just move. Vents work both ways. Get a hotel room for the weekend then spill an entire bottle of roundup from home depot into the vents and seal it off at your end.

Could be but why symptoms only when they smell pot?

Definitely need to get apartment mgmt involved and if no resolution then the Health department.
