Legality of Growing Weed in a Rental Apartment or House

This is a confusing area of the law. Growing weed is legal for residents of many states across the country. The majority of State laws do not specifically address the issue of growing weed in a rental property. This means you need to read your lease carefully. If your lease doesn't say anything about illegal drugs, you will have a stronger argument in your favor. Since cannabis is still a schedule 1 drug on a federal level, you can still run into issues if your lease state anything regarding illegal drugs. If you lease doesn't say anything about illegal narcartics, and doesn't have any specific marijuana clauses, you are probably clear to grow. Of course, your landlord typically reserves the right to change your lease at any point, and can easily add an addendum to your lease with only a month or two notice.
We always recommend talking with your landlord. Some property managers will not care or look the other way. Simply explain that you will not damage the home in any way, and make it clear that nothing will be permanently attached to the home.
If talking to your landlord is not an option, it is easy to conceal a small grow operation. The use of grow tents, and carbon filters make it easy to conceal your hobby grow. Just don't go overboard and keep your operation small. Nobody will notice.
I hope this is obvious, but we are not lawyers and are not offering any legal advice. We do not recommend doing anything that is illegal in any way.

Tips of Growing in a Rented Apartment/House/Condo/etc

If you plan on growing in an rental apartment or house, we have a few tips for you. We have set up several grow tents in rental apartments and have learned a few things you should consider.
Other than that, there is very little that you need to worry about. The only thing your neighbors may hear is the faint sound of the fans and light running. This is no more than a window fan or heating vent.
We have had great success growing in rented apartments and houses over the years. Of course, we can't recommend doing anything that will break your lease.
- Be aware when carrying in supplies - It is important to be mindful of what supplies you are carrying into your apartment. For example, you don't want to walk by the property manager or landlord with bags of soil.
- Be Careful Shipping to your Apartment - Many apartment managers will notice when large packages arrive to your door. If you order something online that may tip off your manager, we recommend shipping it to a different mailbox, such as a friend or PO box.
- Be aware of the smell - For the first 75% of your plants life cycle, this will be a non issue. The following is in regards to that last 25% of the plants life before you harvest your delicious buds. Hiding the smell is extra important when your neighbor is only a thin wall away. We utilize carbon filters to eliminate the odor for all of our grow room installations. This completely eliminates the smell. However, when you open your tent during the late flowering stages, the smell will escape the tent. It is important to work as quickly as you can, and keep the tent open as little as possible. We also recommend opening a window, and use some all natural air freshener while you are tending your plants during the late flowering session.

Will My Neighbors or Landlord Smell My Plants?

The best way to conceal the smell of your plants is to utilize a grow tent with a carbon filter. This will essentially eliminate the odor that is released by your weed plants.
If you properly set up your tent, you will have a negative pressure inside your tent. Which means the only air that is leaving the tent is being sucked through the carbon filter essentially eliminating all odors.
The only time you will be able to smell your plants, outside of your tent, will be when you open it up to do maintenance. After about week 4 the plants will begin to smell and they will start to smell very strong during the flowering stage. During this time, it is important to leave the tent closed as much as possible. We also recommend opening a window, or using an air freshener if you are afraid your neighbors or landlord will smell your plants.
We have grown in many apartments and rental homes over the years and have never had any issues. Not a single landlord, or neighbor has noticed.
