For example, I had one applicant that had one marijuana possession misdemeanor charge on his record, but nothing else.

There are so many peculiar hotels in Vegas with discount rates all year long.

Cocaine, marijuana, meth, meth alt, opiates, opiates alt, benzodiazepams, methadone, pcp, barbitcurates. 

Again I'm going off anecdotal evidence here, but I believe a large number of transplants are here for legalized marijuana, and with state regulations tightening as well as more states legalizing, along with all the other factors at play (such as skyrocketing rents), we will see a steady slowdown of population growth.

If you're worried about what a potential renter may do....here's what I did when I advertised on GoSection 8......No Smokers of any kind,....period....no vaping, no marijuana, no e-cigarettes, NOTHING.No Animals or Pets, PERIOD (Of course if someone told me they had a Service Animal then I of course showed them the property because by law I had to).No Evictions, EVERNo Felonies, EVER1st Month's rent is due BEFORE move in.I could care less about their credit score because I know Sect. 8 is paying most of their rent anyway.I also let them know that there will be a background check that THEY pay for through SmartMoveAlso, in the ad it stated that (their portion of the) rent is collected electronically through E-RentPayment so if they don;t have a bank account then they need to have one before applying.Still got TONS of inquiries.

", section VIIG is revised to "a monthly payment equal to $X,XXX". all other terms remain the same.So that said I know MA is one of the areas that can have some peculiar tenancy laws so definitely seek some local wisdom prior to implementing either suggestion above. 

We had to add in along with no smoking cigarettes, no vaping or marijuana.
