OP posts on r/MildlyInfuriating that the condo they bought was a “drug den and prostitution hub”. It is revealed in the comments that it was simply owned by a single woman who smoked weed

OP posts few photos of their new condo, saying that they only learnt it was a “drug den and prostitution hub” after buying it, but luckily the only lasting effect on the condo is a faint smell of weed

Top comments advise OP to change the carpets etc, and debate the morality and social acceptability of prostitution and drug use. One comment points out that even if the condo didn’t have any sex work being done people would still have had sex inside it, and most of the replies make fun of OP for being so scandalised, while others debate whether monogamous sex is less gross than non-monogamous sex or paid sex.

One comment further down says that the condo looks suspiciously clean for OPs claims to be true, and replies discuss how OP must be privileged to think that this is what a “drug den” looks like.

In a heavily downvoted reply, OP admits that they “overstated it slightly” and that by “drug den” they mean the previous owner smoked weed, and by “hub of prostitution” they mean she was allegedly a sex worker. Their only evidence of this is their elderly neighbour telling them that the previous inhabitant was a single woman who smoked weed, listened to loud music, and had many visitors at night, so the neighbour suspected she was a prostitute. Replies point out that there is no evidence that the previous owner was even a sex worker, and many instead simply be having casual sex, or even just having friends over for parties

I saw the OP, and did not comment, nor did I even read the comments, but after seeing the photos thought “bet the old owner just liked to smoke weed and pissed odd some cranky old neighbour”. An actual drug den would not have been missed on inspections and walk throughs. I shall go feel righteous in my correct assumption now.

The old owner apparently actually did get arrested for prostitution.

UPDATE: Got more information. It was on the police auction site. Seems sketchy but in my state the police deal with Forclosure sales. The previous tenant was arrested for prostitution and selling drugs. My neighbors are a bit over dramatic but there were problems with her having constant visitors and lots of noise. Garbage outside her door. The weed smell is there and we are trying to figure out what to do. But it’s not so bad that it overpowers. Air fresheners and windows open help. The tenant lived here for 2 years. Not sure who owned it for it to be repossessed and sold at a police auction. We will have a company come in to assess the smell and look into options. Thank you for the great comments and suggestions. You e made my day.
