Would You Rent A House To Someone Growing MMJ Indoors?

[nitro harley]

I would not rent a house to anybody that grows indoors..Out doors maybe if legal..

I know somebody that is getting sued by the home owner for wiping out his house...He had so many fans running pulling damp air into the house the back of the house rotted and around the windows and there was mold everywhere...pretty much wiped it out..It took about 4 years to destroy the rental....

I think there is going to be a lot of that going on...I think thats why canada has been re thinking there mmj program....IMO

That is why they have insurance.

totaly agree, tho I know somebody who mess up a house in less time not growing and somebody who grow and don't mess up anything, deepens on the person, you can easily keep a indoor grow and keep it nice and clean (should anyway, mold and weed is not a good combo)

need to keep some respect for other Ppl. stuff, growing or not ..

I wouldn't mind if they told me up front, and was open about it, and I had a say about witch room aso, and of course shared the harvest

You obviously have never owned rental property. Insurance doesnt cover damage from tenants.

Expecting a share of the harvest is where you are going wrong here. That is one reason people wouldn't consider telling their landlords most of the time. They don't want to get weaseled in on. If the tenant is paying rent and NOT tearing up the house that is all that should be expected. I've been growing in a rental for the last 3.5 years, and have not trashed it, and have not caused any mold issues or anything of the sort. Sadly most of the time when I move into a rental its obvious they have been a rental for a long time, usually its the landlord that decides not to put any money into the rental and the problems just continue to escalate whether the tenant takes care of it or not. Typically I do all the work I can do and need to do because in my experience most landlords are lazy fucks that just want to collect a check. Now I rent a $600 a month house, because I can't afford anything more, nor can I understandhow people are expected to be able to pay the $900 and $1000 + for some rentals. I agree it all depends on the individuals, both the tenant and the landlord, but I would never consider or condone trashing a house.

I actually run rental properties. Not sure what kinda insurance you have but it sounds like it is not upto par.

Depending on how much damage, it might not be worth submitting the claim to the insurance company. I think our deductible is 2k. In order to do more than 2k damage they would need to be really really neglectful.

If you are going to restrict what someone does in their home you have to have it in their lease. If you don't have restrictions you will have to ammend their lease. You can't just make shit up as you go along.

Lastly, any repairs you do on a rental is a huge tax write off at the end of the year.

Yeah, the first answer for me is no. No to home rental property. There are better investments than that. I was so glad when we sold that rental house and managed to break even, all told.

# - you can get insurance on tenant damage, but the first time you claim they drop you. Been there.
# - no insurance will cover an activity that is Federally un-lawful. Ask the growers in CO. My clinic can't even take VISA
# - DEA can seize you property for evidence
# - if any connection is made that you as the owner could be part of the conspiracy, they will sell your house.
# - you can be an un-indited co-consiparator, subject to ongoing suspicion.

do you seriously believe I would demand a cut ? hence the smily

no of course not, but since I grow myself I would of course be interested in there set up aso.

and if they liked I wouldn't mind makeing a agreement of some rent money paid in smoke etc. Im a reasonable guy.

Besides not being able to afford to purchase a house isn't this why people rent? They are not responsible for repairs. Either they are lazy or do not have the knowledge to fix/maintain themselves.

Not saying that it is kosher to fuck up someone else's house, just bringing some facts to the forefront.

I will also add that most of the time tenants pay a security deposit to cover some inevitable damage to the property. Even if this didn't cover the damage completely it should cover a large chunk of the deductible. This is also a risk as a landlord that you take since most of the time you are collecting FREE money for doing nothing other then owning a house. I don't feel bad for most landlords because of this. As I said most landlords I've met are impossible to get anything done they just want to collect a check, and I'm not a pain in the ass tenant, in almsot 4 years I have called my landlord less then 5 times but all for the same reason ( a dead and very dangerous tree in the yard that needed trimmed) and it took her lazy ass over a year to finally do something about it. Most landlords are creeps that just want a check.

This is why our leases contain lots of rules. We make the tenant responsible for any up-keep to the vegitation. You enjoy the shade, you keep the trees trimmed. You kill the tree, you replace the tree etc. You can have any rules you want as long as you do not have rules against race, religion, sexual prefference etc. You could say that you will not rent to Dallas Cowboy fans as long as you enforce the rule uniformly.

half of that free money goes to taxes the rest fixes what people like u damage or dont pay

 

[mjjbabel]

The reason people rent. They do not have the burden of repairs, that comes on the shoulders of the landlord. IMO that is why people rent, and they don't have the means to purchase or don't have the knowledge to do their own repairs/preventative maintenece.

 

[coffeesick]

Insurance will not cover that, nor do they need to.

 

[Thundercat]

I do no damage to my property, thats right I said my because while I live here I consider it MY home. I do all my own repairs so I don't have to have the landlord come to my house where I'm growing......go figure. I don't need my landlord to do most anything which is why I don't fuck with her. The only reason I rent is because I have not way to buy my own home yet. I ave been working constantly on building my credit for the last 2 years, and am almost there.

I would not expect to be held responible to trim a tree that has been on the property for easily 100 years, and has been dieinng for prolly the last 10 years. This tree that needed honestly to be taken down not trimmed is over 60 feet tall, when the tree guys got here to do it finally they didn't have trucks tall enough to reach it. That tree was so dead that 6 inch branches were falling out of it. I am responsible for the the yard and keep it nice and even do some gardening here, but don't try to say the tree is my problem.

As far as half the free money going to taxes fuck off, everyone pays taxes, and that should be escrowed into the mortgage payment. I also call bullshit on the rest going to fix the house. I have yet to meet a landlord that fixes anything that isn't absolutely necessary. You might spend the extra from one or 2 months of rent to fix things up after people leave, but between that and the security deposit you all keep, you don't spend your profit on fixing shit.

 

[mjjbabel]

I am not saying the tree is your responsability. I am saying the trees in my tenants yards are their responsability.

I don't make people sign their leases, I only explain what is containted therein.

 

[mjjbabel]

Well, this has been fun.

Time for me to go and cut some weeds and replace a sink. Have fun all!

Were cool I just wanted to clarify so I didn't come off like a social leech. I consider my self to be an upstanding tenant, and truely can't wait till I can get my own home to do what I want with.
