Our apartment smells like smoke. It wasn't this bad when we moved in, I actually didn't notice it. Since the summer started to get hotter, people closed their windows and turned on their A.C.'s and I believe that is why the smoke is bothering us so much now. I have really bad asthma which I thought I had under control until I moved here. I have been having at least two bad attacks a week and have been constantly wheezing. The inside of the heat registers have sticky tar on them and are covered in chunks of dust that smell like smoke. Not to mention that the carpets can't even be called carpeting anymore because they are so worn down, though ever time that I vacuum, the smell gets worse. I don't know what to do, I am going to end up in the hospital and the landlord doesn't seem to care at all and is not willing to do anything. I need to break my lease. I called the board of help and they are going to do an inspection but I don't think that will help. I also made a doctors appointment so I can get a note. I already have a new smoke free place to move into, but we obviously can't afford both. Could someone please help me.
