Dear Prudence,
My parents are getting ready to sell the house my brother and I grew up in, and my brother (now 21) is living in the basement while working and saving up for his own place. For the past five years, he has been smoking pot in the basement. A lot. When I was home from college during the summer, I smelled it all the time, and I still smell it when I visit. My parents have turned a blind nose to this, which has resulted in the entire basement smelling like stale pot smoke. How can I tell them, nicely, that there’s no way they will sell the house until they do something about the disgusting smell coming from the basement?

Just say, “Mom and Dad, have you planned on getting the house professionally cleaned before you start showing it to buyers? There’s a musty smell in the basement that might put a damper on interest.”
