MARIJUANA use in rental in IL

[Nolan Mahoney]

Hello, 

Since marijuana is recreational in IL im a little perplexed on how i should go about it in my rental. Since its legalized i cant ban the use of it onmy property right? Also in the lease agreement i have a no smoking policy because i dont want anyine smoking anything inside the unit. Are my hands tied here because marijuana is legal now? can i at least put in the lease that smoking can be done outside the unit with an ash tray and all ashes, butts must be thrown in an ash tray after use?

 You definitely have the right to enforce a no smoking policy in your rentals. As you mentioned, you have a no smoking policy in your lease already. Smokers are not a protected class so you don't have to rent your units to smokers.
