What to do about neighbours who smoke?

Ok, I know this will probably be controversial but I’m at the end of my tether and I’d really appreciate the chance to hear from people who have had similar experiences. Partner and I have recently moved into an apartment in a small complex of 3 units. The landlord owns the whole building and our lease includes the following statement: Tenants and their guests must NOT smoke inside the property, on the balcony or in the courtyard area.

Jane's Walk in Brisbane

Has anyone done/lead a Jane’s Walk in Brisbane? It was a fairly big thing in the city I moved from (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) and always a lot of fun to learn about the communities at a leisurely pace. I looked at the past walks and it looks like there were 3 in 2014 and 2 in 2015, but none last year. Any have any information about this program? Or interested in a walk?

So many long weekends coming up. What's on / what's everyone planned?

14, 15, 16, 17, 25 April & 1 May are all public holidays. And for those taking the 24th off, that means many people* will have 3 long weekends (and 4 short work weeks!) in a row. Is there anything interesting happening over those weekends in/around Brisbane? So far (other than Easter and ANZAC Day events) I’ve found: Bluewater Festival / Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race Buddha Birth Day Festival What exciting things does everyone have planned? (*Yes, I know not everyone is lucky enough to have public holidays off.) submitted by /u/s13_eisbaer [link] [comments]
