WA/CO legalization of marijuana and rental properties

[Brandon Shaw]

Havent seen anyone reply on BP about the ramifications to landlords who dont want marijuana grown on thier property or in their rentals. I just bought a house in WA state, and with the passing of this law there is gray lattitude a mile wide for tenants to possess and use marijuana in my rental, which down the road could have legal liabilities on me as the landlord.

Now that its "legal", I dont think I have a right to evict someone unless I have it specified in my lease they are not allowed to have or use marijuana, but is that legal? The feds are dragging thier feet on any responce to the States rights to legalize it.

I'm not saying marijuana shouldnt be legal or not, thats up to the courts to decide, but the states have created a total mess by legalizing the drug without the laws to define how/when its appropriate (ie sobriety test while driving...).

Those of you landlords WA/CO (or CA/OR for that matter) doing to address this issue?
