Does this violate the MN Indoor Clean Air Act?

As long as your lease doesn't say that smoking is not allowed by all means you can smoke in your apartment, but still not the halls or in front of the building itself.

I would think it would be in your lease, your and their responsibilities and obligations, I would check it and if they are not following their part, get a lawyer

IT is a sackable offense only if they can prove that you have done it repeatedly and more importantly they have given you two  formal warnings about it in the past, and you have never improved...\n\nIf they have, you could be screwed, as it is a Health and Safety regulation...

It seems as if there are some external sources making them sick- do you live in a wet environment? Are there signs of mildew on the windows or walls? Do you have pets, especially ones that tramp around in the weeds? Where do you and/or your husband work? Bringing in something on your clothes from work that may be toxic? What type of cleaning products do you use? Are you spraying their toys/room with Febreeze?- this has been known to be dangerous to animals! You need to do some serious research around your house and track poosible sources of toxins coming in or growing in your house.Not enough info for now, sorry. Allergy testing should rule out foods, but not environment.

Hostile work environment, I'd go with that, or consider calling OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety.) Noxious gases and high levels of bacteria are cause for concern for the workplace, right?\n\nDid they pass out eye protection in your office?\n\nHow about Scott Air Packs or other respirators? Are they in easy reach of anyone who might require them?\n\nIs there an adequate alarm system? I suggest that rotating flashing lights above the bathroom door (warning the unwary not to enter) plus sirens and a loudspeaker announcing when it is safe to re-enter the workspace might be something to consider.\n\nWhat about running "fire" drills. If you see the Comptroller heading in the general direction of the loo, your health and safety officer is completely within his rights to pull the alarm and announce a general evacuation of the premises. Then he should conduct a role call at the designated meeting areas.\n\nIt might be wise to practice administering CPR (preferably on the prettiest women or guys, if that's your preference) \n\nIt might not be too extreme to demand that the Comptroller's favorite stall be marked off with biohazard tape and flooded with strong UV. Ask about installing a huge fan to whisk toxic fumes out of the building. In fact, an executive "washroom" with a special lock should be built just for this guy....\n\nIn the next county.

He should report them to OSHA. They regulate work environment rules. I think they will be fined and will probably have some other type of recourse taken against them. \n\nI also think he could sue, b/c it's a health hazard (as a CA resident myself) i see that these things are taken pretty seriously, so I'm sure he'd have a case. I think it totally sucks that this is happening though, what about talking to another manager in the company or human resources? \n\nUnfortunately, that i know if, you can't quit and ask for unemployment. You have to be layed off. But he wouldn't really make that much money that way anyways..\n\nGood luck!

That is absolutely illegal. You cannot force an employee to log out and stay there. I hope someone reports you.

They just passed a law in a city near San Francisco that prohibits smoking anywhere but a totally detached home.  If you live in a townhouse or apartment it's against the law to smoke.  Next they will be in your home telling you what you can and can't eat.  It's effing ridiculous!

it is a violation. The best thing you can do is be honest with the judge and hope he gives you a warning.

Unethical? Certainly. You are using someone else's property without their permission. As for whether or not it's illegal, that depends. There doesn't appear to be an applicable federal statute, but some states, such as CA, do specifically forbid using a neighbor's internet connection.

All states have different laws and regulations.  You civil code tell us nothing.  Most landlords take it house by house.  If I had a tenant and there was writing on the wall, yes I would charge them to re paint, if the house was reasonably clean I can deal with that, but if there is old moldy stuff in the fridge, I will hit them with a cleaning charge.  Are you leaving the home as clean as it was when you moved in?  I hope this helps Regards KG

Contact Trading Standards or Citizens Advice and find out if the code is voluntary or not for the appliance. It may be that for that appliance there is no legal requirement, or there may be some other get out clause.

I doubt that it is illegal, but it isn't good business practice. \n\nCalifornia is big into consumer protection, though. You could write/call the State Office of Consumer Affairs and complain.\n\nhttp://www.dca.ca.gov/

Yes, this is criminal besides being rude.\nComplain to both the authorities and your landlord.

No No andNo.   I just saw a news broadcast (locally) that spotlighted the lingering long term effects about this very scenario.......You need to call your health dept and find out if the landlord had it "Properly" cleaned out.....fresh paint doesn't cut it!!!!

Anybody can sue, but the question is if there's a cause that is actionable by the court.  A person can not benefit from an illegal action.  In this case breaking in is the illegal action and thus prevents the homeowner from having responsibility.
