Renting from a private landlord...

thinking about renting from a private landlord, nothing commercial, just some individual with a few properties around town. anyone have any good or bad experiences to share?

It depends. I try to avoid individuals for a house to grow in. Private owners have personal vested interest and will stop by to say "hi" meaning they want to make sure you are not fucking the place up. This is what i recommend, Ask your friends about their worst rental experience in town...you know where the property management sucked and wouldn't come out to fix something if you begged them. These, my friend, are the people you want to rent from.

I had great results. My landlord turned out to be completely fucked in the head. He by accidentally showed our house to potential tenants(we were moving) when we were gone. They saw everything! The landlord put his tail between his legs and ran. Over time he began smoking with us, as well as free gifts, sometimes even free herbs. He was a pushover as well.

I should say that once the plants were known about, we obtained medical cards, to stand behind just in case.

I would reccomend to feel the landlord out. I am renting from a private landlord who was really scary. I have lived here for 2 years now, he loves us (my wife and I) and He could careless about my medical choices. I still don't want him to visually see it, but for discussions sake it is open game

I rent from a nice little old lady that probably wouldn't know what it is even if she saw them. I am a carpenter, so I selected a couple of small, cheap things to fix around the house, so she trusts that I am taking good care of the place. A little brown nosing never hurt either.


BTW, I believe it is law in most places to give tenants 24hrs. notice before entering the house. Even if it's not, when it comes down to it, let them call your bluff.

Oh yeah, having one of these in the house cant hurt

Wow thats a beatiful boxer. Man's best friend truly is a growers best friend... whether you rent or own I mean it a dog can let ya breathe easy when away from the crop, my late roomates (r.i.p.) pitbull mix held off management once when I didn't receive notice of our inspection. good dog bought me the time I needed.

thanks. He is actually an american bulldog. At 128lb he's got a poodle on most boxers

I want a 250,000mg CHILL Pill.

It would be the size of a big mac! you might have to chop it up and snort it-lol... or maybe just roll around in it!

I would have to get creative with it for sure. I'd imagine a giant chill pill would be amazing .

security cams and padlocks (LOTS OF SECURITY).. stay small and mobile for emergency reasons (1-2 plants, small light).. if that cant be done, dont do it...

Deciding whether you grow or not, hinges completely on your grow house(at least for me, penalty of getting caught is wayyy to high). With that in mind....DO your homework. Look at listings in the paper, craigslist, every where. Pick a location that is hidden yet in plain sight. I know those sound counter intuitive but if you are wanting to grow successfully you need to make sure your house is secure. No nosy neighbors, a big yard does wonders, and off the street a bit (for sounds/smells/lights). So it all comes down to finding the appropriate places you think you can grow in. When I went out and searched I would bring a checklist along of what I was looking for. The worst part is, you will find a place and it will be perfect...except the landlord just won't work. You can typically tell how protective they are of their property by the amount of information they want from you before they let you rent. They go hand in hand, you don't want the right landlord wrong house and vice versa. Look for houses that have been on the market (for sale) for a long time. See if you can't find if the owners would be interested in renting (especially if they aren't local). In my situation, I dealt with a realtor and my landlord lives 600 miles away. Summed up, dont grow if you think something is sketchy, there is a perfect grow house out there it just takes work to find it. Good luck
