has even been forced to wear gas masks to withstand the disgusting \u2014 and potentially hazardous \u2014 aroma, the suit alleges. <\/p>\n<p>Trudy, 67, told the outlet that she began noticing the \u201clife-changing\u201d smell from the rectangular mobile home parked next to Ward\u2019s single-family residence last August and that it steadily became so overpowering that she was unable to enjoy gardening or lounging in her own yard.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cMy husband started walking by and started smelling it, and he said, \u2018My God, what\u2019s that?\u2019\u201d Trudy told the outlet. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ve been smelling it for a while.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple\u2019s lawyer, Karl Anuta, believes a chemical toilet in the small home may have overflowed and leeched into the ground below it \u2014 causing the owners to use bleach to mask the gnarly scent. <\/p>\n<p>However, chlorine bleach mixed with ammonia in urine creates highly toxic chloramine gas, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n<p>The foul stench even caused John, 77, to collapse and chip his kneecap, requiring surgery and extensive physical therapy. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in

driveway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On one occasion, a friend could detect the odor on the couple\u2019s clothes, Trudy alleged. <\/p>\n<p>John and Trudy have been forced to keep their windows and door tightly shut and wear gas masks with carbon filters when they walk out of their car in the driveway, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n<p>Their medical providers advised the older couple to vacate their longtime home and find a temporary stay until the stinky situation can be fixed, Anuta told The Post. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the Benjamins want is to be able to use and enjoy their home of 40 years, without having to wear industrial-grade respirators whenever they go outside,\u201d the attorney added.<\/p>\n<p>Anuta said the Benjamins sent several emails to Ward after becoming fed up with the smell, but received \u201cunsatisfactory responses,\u201d including that she planned to install a composting toilet, would hook the tiny home up to a sewer line, and have the chemical toilet pumped regularly.<\/p>\n<p>In an email to the local outlet, Ward, who does not have a lawyer, said the tiny home has an \u201cRV toilet\u201d and \u201cportable septic tank\u201d that was installed in the unit. They were both removed in late April, and the residue was cleaned.<\/p>\n<p>The couple, however, said the stench persists, as do the symptoms \u2014 dizziness and nausea \u2014 it allegedly causes them and visitors. <\/p>\n<p>They are seeking \u201cnon-economic damages in an amount the jury determines to be fair but in no event to exceed $200,000,\u201d according to a complaint obtained by People. <\/p>\n<p>The Benjamins also want the tiny home removed or no longer used until it\u2019s connected to a sewer system, the outlet said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
