In Portland, Oregon, John and Trudy Benjamin, aged 77 and 67, filed a $250,000 lawsuit against their neighbor over sewage odors from a tiny house. Since August 2025, the smell from a camper toilet connected to a portable septic tank allegedly forced them to wear gas masks and caused one to fall and fracture a kneecap. The city cited a sewer connection violation in March 2026, but the neighbor claims the issue is resolved.
