Recently, I shared the details of my illness with my neighbors, but then they started telling everyone about my situation. What should I do, should I worry about this?
Have you been into your neighbor's house before? If the house is old, the condition of the plumbing is also important. If there is dampness or a plumbing leak, it will somehow reflect on the walls. If you've noticed moisture on the floor of your house, it could definitely be coming from the apartment below.
It strikes me as strange that disease transmission is solely based on odor. Are you sure this situation is entirely odor-related? If you say the disease is contagious, have you considered the possibility of physical contact through the ventilation system or the chance of microbes spreading? Or is there something else?
How did you understand that the disease spread due to smell, what were the symptoms? Doesn't the possibility of it spreading through direct contact or commonly used areas (stairs, door handles, etc.) seem more plausible? Suspecting the smell is fine, but I think it would be better to explore other avenues a bit more.
If apartment dwellers have pets, they need to consider how they clean up their waste. Sometimes, if these things aren't disposed of properly, it can cause blockages in the sewage system. Has anyone mentioned smelling a similar odor from another apartment?
Where does the lower cat's kitchen or bathroom exactly correspond in your house? Perhaps there is a connection between the place where you smell the scent and the area they use. Especially if something is leaking from the chimney or drains, pinpointing the location is critical.
I think it's best to deal with the alt tenants directly; it's hard to say anything definitive without entering and seeing the house. Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as you think, or on the contrary, there might be a bigger problem. Try to talk to them and identify the source on-site.
If the odor is only coming from downstairs and you think you're getting sick directly from it, let's clarify the details: What kind of illness are we talking about? Is it respiratory, related to the skin, or a general discomfort? Because you mention "illness," but no one has yet asked about the symptoms. Is there data linking the symptoms to a possible source?
We need to think about the process as much as the symptoms. How long after you first sensed the smell did you become sick? This helps us understand the connection with the smell more clearly. Have you ever considered that there might be another trigger for the illness?
The issue of odor is one thing, but is the fact that the entire apartment knows about this related to your discomfort or the attitude of those living below? In other words, is the claim of spreading illness in the apartment something you explained, or did others exaggerate it? We need to clarify that as well. Sometimes the real issue isn't the odor, but rather how the word spreads.
Saying that the disease is spreading throughout the entire apartment without knowing the exact cause might be a bit of an exaggeration. You could be affected by something entirely from another source, like something in your own home? It would be more logical to see a doctor first for a proper diagnosis, and then you can talk to your neighbor.
Without clear evidence that the disease is transmitted through smell, it is risky to establish this connection from the outset. The overall cleanliness of the apartment, ventilation systems, or another external source could also be related to the situation. Have you considered mentioning these possibilities to the doctor when sharing your symptoms and seeking guidance?
Does the smell coming from the bottom floor occur continuously or does it intensify at specific times? For example, does it increase during mealtimes, or is there a situation that coincides with using the bathroom? Perhaps these timings could provide an important clue for identifying the source.
If the whole apartment has heard about it, even if the people downstairs are denying it, they might have hinted at the situation. Instead of discussing your illness, check if there's been an investigation in the apartment about "where the smell is coming from." If someone is trying to cover something up, they will leave a clue while gossiping.
The matter of what substance the odor derives from is also an important detail. For example, is it a chemical smell, the smell of something rotten, or sewage odor? Because each of these represents a different problem and requires a different solution. Without knowing the source, saying it spreads throughout the entire building or that it directly makes you ill remains speculative.
If the smell is only the problem of the neighbor downstairs, then why has the whole apartment building gotten involved? I don't understand that. If the source of the smell is really that, there should also be complaints from another apartment. Or did the issue only grow from you bringing this situation up?
Dismissing the neighbor's smell issue and bringing the matter to the apartment feels a bit strategic. Maybe they are hiding something, like an activity at home or a situation they have neglected. Try to get a clear answer from the others in the apartment about who has been disturbed.
Have you considered calling the municipality directly to request assistance from the environmental inspection teams, aside from dealing with the neighbor regarding the noise issue? If an official investigation is initiated, the scale and source of the problem can be identified more clearly. The essence of the matter can be found without needing everyone's opinion in the apartment.
If the smell of the old cat is causing issues and other neighbors are truly experiencing this, someone would have already taken action. If there are those who remain silent, either there isn't a problem or they're too hesitant to complain. If you've been carrying this burden alone until now, I think the indifference of the apartment should also be questioned.
If the old cat refuses the smell, have you tried documenting it directly? For example, note the times when the smell occurs and your discomfort. Also, could it be something coming from outside, rather than from the apartment? When speaking so definitively without finding the exact source, people may become defensive.
Have you considered the possibility of an issue with the building's plumbing? I mean, could there be a leak in the sewage or ventilation connections, etc.? If the smell increases at a certain time, it might be directly related to usage or an external factor.
So when did this smell issue start? Did you notice it all of a sudden or has it increased over time? Maybe there was something that was overlooked in the past; we should also check the old complaints from the other neighbors. If something like this happened before, maybe no one has spoken up about it.
Is this smell related to a specific action? For example, if it increases during meal times, it could be from the chimney; if it gets stronger at night, it might be due to ventilation. It seems you need a bit more systematic observation to find the source. It's hard to find a solution without understanding exactly where and when it occurs.
