I have seen variations of this debate many times. I come down on the side of the property owner in the end. If a renter causes serious damage to the property or potentially puts the landlord/property owner in a position of being liable or subject to serious criminal penalties that is totally unfair to the property owner. To all that suggest loading it up in your car or whatever, lets say you rent your car to a random person and they use your car in a hit and run or just plain trash the car and burn up the transmission and expect YOU to not be upset hows that sound ??
Its about having respect for other people and THEIR property. If it legal and the landlord faces NO possible reprisals including criminal and AGREES then thats up to the landlord.
I have rented apartments and always knew I didnt own the place and simply common sense is that if I damage the place beyond reasonable use then thats on me. I own a home now and dont own rental properties.
Its easy to see the selfish self entitled ones who think nothing else in the world matters except what the spoiled child wants.
Landlords put āno petsā all the time even though itās not enforceable here.
I donāt see the need to inform a landlord about legal activities going on inside their rental.
I donāt need to tell them I play chess either.
āNo chess sets allowed.ā
Nah. If it did im sure lots of weed only smokers would have gotten it by now.
If you damage the property beyond normal use be prepared to pay. Are you OK with renters causing expensive damage to the property they are RENTING and do not own? If you owned a property and somebody caused damage beyond having to do a simple clean up and maybe paint and do the things normally done to make a rental ready for the next renters? If landlords are ok with a grow tent etc and the smell doesnāt bother other neighbors so be
it. The golden rule is a easy solution to many of lifeās issues.
We are not talking about damage. We are talking about growing.
When I was a landlord I only had 4 rules.
Pay on time
Donāt trash the place
Donāt have a loud party without telling me
Donāt bring the cops to my door.
Growing = damage is exactly the mindset problem.
So long as everyone is OK with it.
Iāve had it happen a few times. I play drums and the bass drum case is a perfect transport. Just gotta bend em over. I honestly just packed em, tore down the tent and put them in my care until he was gone. Then reset everything up. The final time I just put a giant sheet over the tent and said Fuck it. He didnāt say a word about it. Lolol. Super annoying though. Good luck! 
Chess doesnt have the potential to start an electrical fire and void an insurance claim lol
It does the way I play it.
If your grid canāt handle my minimal power needs then thatās your problem.
Apples to apples:
Iām not talking about turning the place into a giant factory. Just a tent.
If someone turned my rental into a factory farm Iād be pissed about it too
Itās legal where I am and I wouldnāt care if someone had a grow but I canāt stand the entitlement of a lot of renterās (not you). If you sign a lease and it says no growing weed, youāre binded to that, itās a literal contract.
If the landlord doesnāt put that stuff in there then I guess do whatever u want if itās legal. So much responsibility falls on the property owner and the shitty tenants screw it up for everyone else
Iām legal too.
Landlord/tenant relationships are messed up here. Especially with the Covid backlog Iāve heard stories about tenants not paying for a year and are still not evicted.
Landlords also put āno petsā and they are not allowed to do that. At least not here. Hell, you canāt even legally insist on being paid by cheque. Itās crazy. I would move my dog in.
The field is tilted towards tenants. Whether thatās good or not depends on your slant.
Aside: I saw a great meme about covid and rentals. The renter couldnāt pay so the landlord stapled a map to the area homeless shelter on the door. The tenant stapled bankruptcy forms to the landlords door.
Itās crazy out there.
Funny meme though.
Thatās funny 
Being a landlord seems like a nightmare these days. It goes both ways but Iāll have to pass on that opportunity lol
First and only rule: get a good tenant.
Forget credit score and employment history etc.
Itās a look you in the eye and see if I believe you kind of business.
Risky.
Some cities still havent started their landlord-tenant court backlog.
(Like brooklyn/queens)
I have 1 tenant who hasnt paid since December 2019. And still operating.
Its fxcking crazy man.
Yeah, thatās nuts. An almost impossible thing to collect on.
and thats just for getting possession back.
If you really want to collect money you then have to file suit in civil court ittl take years just to get the money judgment then try and get paidā¦ LoL
It aint gonna happen 90% of the time.
Yeah man. Blood. Stone. I hear you. Shitty deal.
Well week#2 still nobody showed up to inspect the apartment. Do I go ahead and setup the closet again or wait and see what next week does? I will post pictures tonight of the bud tent looking beautiful my first scrog now I just have to improve my technique work. My building is so strange I am in the middle of the city on the top floor. Which I actually like being at the top of a building. My best friend growing up I would sit on the top of the couch every time I was there anyway itās been a stressful few weeks thinking about this inspection I had everything ready for them twice. So hoping they mightāve come in when I passed out for a little bit.
so, youāre gonna build a a stealth grow cabinet when itās over, right?
