Legal Weed: To Allow or Not, that is the question

Do those of you that have rentals in states where weed is now legal allow your tenants to possess, use or even grow in your properties? Just curious as I am getting ready to invest in a weed friendly state and wanted others input.

No this isn’t about weed being “bad” it’s simply about allowing it in your properties due to the odor. Similar to investors not allowing smoking cigarettes or pets in their properties.

@Kyle Perry, I'm not in one of those states, but I would say: 

  • Use = NO. Just like cigarette smoke.
  • Possess = Yes, if it's legal under state law, what else are you going to do? Also, how would you ever enforce such a prohibition?
  • Grow = A bit more difficult...Indoors, no. Lights may cause a fire hazard and the smell could bother other tenants. Outdoors, I'm not sure. If they have use of outside space and you wouldn't prohibit them growing tomatoes, how could you say no?
