So, a buddy of mine owns several houses and one has been empty for awhile, so he has agreed to let me use one of them to grow as long as he "can't get fucked if I get caught." Now this guy is a good friend of mine so my question is: If he's renting this place to me and we have a lease, can he get in any trouble if I got busted? I mean obviously my 1st priority is to not get busted, but if the worst happens, can he be protected? I don't have much to lose. He does though and I would feel awful if something happend. Can the landlord get fucked if they have no connection to the grow other than owning the house?

If they can prove that he was aware then yes he can definately get screwed.. Technicalities and extent will depend on specific laws to the jurisdiction..

be careful manwouldnt want to fuck your friendthat an weird situation

and as long as the police know for a fact that he didnt knw about it ANY!, he should be alright, but it is a fucked up judicial system we have today.

OK, so does anyone have any suggestions on something that could be put into a lease that could help protect him? Something like: During rental period landlord will not access the house in any way whatsoever unless at the request of the renter?
This is really happening, and I'm pumped to get started, but I want to be able to give him some reassurance first. Actually he's not that worried anymore after seeing how stealthy my old closet grow was, but an air-tight lease would help me sleep a lil better at night.

There is nothing you can put in lease to help him. If you get caught all he has to do is plead ignorance and he will get off scott free no questions asked. If cops took down landlords then we would be hearing about it. Iv never heard of a land lord getting charged with cultivation along with a tenant. Ur friend is in the clear so grow away!!

Cool, that's pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to get some confirmation.

well two things, first of all they would have to tie him into the grow, either bust him in posession or prove he knew which would be IMPOSSIBLE if you firmly denied is culpabilty, second, the house would have to be almost paid for in this market the cops dont want any house they cant make a profit on and regardless of what people think,
if your property is siezed they have to sastisfy the loan holder so only if the house is owned outright or almost paid off would they even worry about that


BOTTOM line and this is from a cop directly, without YOUR direct testimony or the landlord busted in posession or selling the product theres no way the prosecuter would consder taking your landlord to trial over YOUR grow operation!!!!

use a fortified door and lock and do it in a room without a bathroom or any aircondition components or electrical breaker panels just incase something goes wrong and plumber or electrician or ac guy has to come out!!! good luck bro!!

probably just a semi automatic and I think the photo is priceless!! Born with the right to bare arms, as soon as he can lift it, teach him to shoot it well my friend!!
