    Default Question About Going In A Rental

    Anyone know if my landlord can kick me out of my (his) house for growing and possessing my permitted quantity of marijuana? I'm only a couple months into a year lease, and nowhere in the lease does it say anything about cardholders or growing/possessing marijuana, legal or not.

    I ask because the only place to grow is in the garage, and my landlord has a few boxes in there along with a key. I've got a locked box for growing in the garage, but he will probably hear the fans running and want to know what's in there.

    Lastly, my landlord is also my uncle, but he's insanely dead set against medical marijuana and will undoubtedly give me an ultimatium: Get out, or quit growing and stay. I'm wondering if I should just tell him up front and get it over with, or not worry about it. After all, I wouldn't make it a point to tell him if I were taking any other doctor recommended medication.

    I wouldnt tell anyone I'm growing. Especially if he has a key he may feel a right to them if its his property come harvest time even if hes against pot he aint against money. But if he's your uncle and he finds em he probably wont call the cops and your legal anyway.
    I once heard of this girl nicknamed "the schwag", she didnt look that good but everyone hit it anyway

    Agreed.

    I could care less about the police showing up, I just want to know if a cardholder can be kicked out of their rental by the landlord because he doesn't want you growing marijuana on the property, regardless of whether or not it is legal.

    your card allows you to posses medical marijuana, thats it. It isnt a "grow wherever" and all is good card. If the landlord wants to kick you out, you are out.

    Well insurance won't cover anything related to a marijuana grow regardless of whether it's medical or not. I don't see how that liability can be forced on an owner. If they find out they can kick you out.

    Check your lease but yes any criminal offense on rented property are grounds for eviction. If your uncle hates dope, grow somewhwere else.

    Checked over my lease for the second time. It says nothing about growing anything, nor does it say anything pertaining to medical marijuana. I did notice that it says that the landlord is required to "give reasonable notice before entering the premises" which he doesn't, he just pops in so if anything ever went to court I'd have that to fall back on at the very least.

    My uncle and I get along great, but I'm just trying to get my bases covered and set up a reasonable defense in case anything were to happen.

    Also I'm using CFL's so I can probably get away with multiple smaller, quieter fans in the grow box. Toss some activated charcoal into the equation and it should be unnoticeable. Lastly I figured that I would just replace the lock on the garage door. If he comes over to try and get in, I'll tell him that I broke the key in the lock on accident, because it does stick and is hard to turn, so I just picked up a new lock instead of bothering him about it.

    He could serve you a 24 hours notice and it would be for real.

    There is none. Insurance will not cover anything related to a grow. He has absolutely no benefit to allow anyone to grow on his property, but would be assuming a huge risk. If the house burns down and the insurance company determines it was related to growing marijuana in any way he will get nothing from them.

    I'm pretty sure you have no legal leg to stand on. And I don't see why anyone would allow a grow. The risk is there, but not the reward.
