Liability after cannabis cultivation: Your rights

Questioner

Our neighbor's weed farm was busted and he has now been evicted from his rental home. To our great horror, we have lived next to a ticking time bomb for quite some time, he had also tampered with the electricity. Can we hold him liable for deliberately endangering our safety? The housing association is not responding.

In principle, this is possible if you have suffered damage and can prove it. This damage must be attributed to the tenant as a result of a busted cannabis farm.
