every applicant wants to turn my house into a grow house

[Tiffany Thompson-damm]

Hello friends, we have had a house 45 min from where we live listed for rent for a few weeks now we are getting lots of emails and traffic; 7 acres, ranch property, irrigation is paid, cute home. The constant is that people are wanting to use the house to grow pot. I have no issue with a RX that you go to a dispensary to get your meds but growing invites a whole other element. Recently (last night) here we just had 2 young people murdered which their plants were being stolen.  I am weeding them out (pun intended) pretty quickly but you think when they meet me and see the K9 shirts, the dogs, that both my husband I are carrying and they ask what I train for and I say dope and border patrol they would get a clue? Nope they still insist and even offer to pay rent 6 mos in advance. Is anyone else having this issue. It's making me want to give up.  Would hiring a property manager be better to eliminate those issues or am i actually catching it quicker than they would?

I suppose you could mention it in your ad so you can hopefully weed them out at that point before you even have to talk to them. Maybe just mention in your ad that although it may be legal in CA, it is still against federal law so it won't be allowed. Good luck!
