Andy Sabisch Question on tenant smoking marijuana
8 January 2025 | 9 replies
you can always call or email the tenant in regards to this matter. i personally smoke as well and just would want my tenants happy and not feeling accused as its a big problem with a lot of tenant v landlord situations around the country. you can always say you got a report of the odor of weed and was just verifying the smell with both tenants on the property. you can restate your conditions with smoking. you can always ask if they are legally able to do so as well (meaning medical card). depending on how you want to handle it, if you want to make it a legal warning to the tenant as well, you should write a written letter sent by mail stating you got a report of weed and this is a written warning in case this a problem down the road, you have evidence to show the court if it gets to that matter that this is not your first occurrence. best of luck!
