text: smoking on my balcony ok? i smoke only a few cigarettes a day.  i walk my dog in the morning and have one then, away from everbody.  if i am at home i may have 2 or 3 during the day and then one or two before bed.  last summer my neighbor started yelling and slamming her door if i smoked on my balcony.  so i bought a smokeless ashtray.  well summer is here again and the other day i came home to a note on my door saying if i did not stop smoking on my balcony she has been advised by a lawyer and she will have me evicted.  there is nothing in my lease regarding smoking and i smoke out back because my husband is a non smoker and i amd trying to be considerate of him.  so now i am out in a parking lot smoking because i can't smoke inside and can't smoke outside without somebody getting pissed off :(  i know its a bad habit and all the rest, but i feel like i am being kind of knocked around here.  what do you think? i would do it anyway she is probably bluffing about the lawyer or the lawyer would have written the letter. if she takes you to court you will probably win this is ridiculous if there is nothing in the lease about i think you can do whatever you want to. you are outside and it is you house on the balcony.
