The drain is clogged and there is water and crap fermenting in the bottom. I have a trane in the garage and it was also making a sweet nasty odor throught out the house. I turned the unit off in the house and I got a ladder and clean out the drain from the garage used Q-tips where the bleach did not get to and I put 1/2 cup of bleach in the drain. I let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I got the wet dry vac and went outside to where the drain is suppose to drain and I sucked out the drain. I repeated this step again in an hour. I changed all the filters and sprayed lysol in the return air. I turned the unit on again and I went to a motel for the night. Next morning the house was fresh and the garage was dry.

Why does the air coming from your home air conditioner vents smell like stale smoke but not when your heater is on in a duplex where the other family smokes?

This has much to do with how the air conditioner and the heater is vented. If the air conditioner draws its air from outside it could be picking up air / smell of smoke from the other family and then redistributing it into your home. A heater on the other had usually has a heater input vent within the house it is heating (it draws the interior air in and then heats it blowing it back out) as the air within the home will be significantly warmer than the exterior air.
