I was wondering if you guys had any knowledge of this.

I am currently living in an apartment. I would like to start growing, but does anyone know if my landlord is allowed to enter my apartment without permission? I know police cant enter without a warrant, but I'm just worried about the landlord coming in and finding something.

Just Make sure that the lease states that the landlord has to give you a couple days notice before being able to enter the apartment, hope this helps.

Most state laws require the landlord to give 24 hours notice.

I grew in an appartment for years with no problems but still not smart. The landland or maintinance usually give 24 hrs but if your or the person upstairs bust a water heater they can walk right in. So be careful and lucky

Thanks a lot to all of you guys, I'll definitely check up on the lease status before I get started.

You should definitely check your lease. It's usually a common clause in most leases and even if it's not technically the landlord might still have the legal power to do so since the landlord either owns the building or works for the owner. So it's definitely something that you need to think about and take extra precautions.

I was a landlord, and I always had to give 24 hrs notice to enter the condo. Now, if something that needed my attention right away, like a busted water pipe or such...I could enter right then and there. Just make sure you keep your grow small enough that you can dismantle it within minutes. You should be fine, just be cautious.

Talk about being paranoid after i read this thread. Yah im totally moving out of this place.

Well I always thought that the landlord had to give you some time in advance, he cant just expect to go in whenever he wants to. I figure your best bet is to have a stealth grow. Make a grow box out of a rubbermaid box or 2 of them and use cfls, no hot lights. If you want more information on this, check out stealth grows in the grow journals, plenty of people have done them. hope that helps
