[easterbunny]

all landlords must give a 24 to 48 hour notice to come do any inspection or work..
thats are tenants rights..

in most leases it is phased as "adequate notice" wich could mean anything, again that is to favor the landlord.
Lets say the landlord wants in and you say come back in 24 hours, they could argue that they need to inspect for a water leak. well, because they OWN the property they are allowed (without notice) to protect their property...i have seen that lease term fuck a lot of people over..fact is if your renting, you really have not rights except squatters laws. every other "right" is contained to the lease...keep in mind if you landlord is a slumlord there are a lot of ways to fuck them over...

sorry for the wording, i have so much info on the subject....BTW if any one has Landlord Questions i did start a thread here, while all states have differnt laws a lot of them are adapted from the federal government, also if you have a copy of the lease i can look at it and explain.

You'd be surprised how few rights tenants have. There's nothing in the property code in my state for repair and maintenance notice. Although it is customary to give so. Most leases I've seen have a provision to allow the landlord to enter at anytime. If you reside in a bigger apartment complex owned by a corporation, you have the threat of having the maintenance guy steal your stash.

All Landlords must give a written notice atleast 24 hrs before entering your apartment/house...

The 24 hr notice can be voided only if .... there is an emergency and you are not to be reached... like a broken water heater leaking or a eletrical fire.

Also if the landlord thinks the house/apt has been left abandend.... he legally doesnt have to give 24 hr notice

Landlords have no right to open anything in your house.... including closets, drawers ect..... unless there is a hot water heater in a closet or a mechanincal devices realted to the house

Hey all, I just had one of those tasty half-baked thoughts. If you have a tent or grow cab, can your landlord look in it? Obviously people conceal small grows for the most part. I'm wondering if you had a 10'by10' tent in the basement of a rented house, and your landlord organizes a "fire inspection" or some other horse-hockey in order to sneak and snoop in your dwelling, that YOU pay THEM for, can they ask you to open it like a room?
I'm talking a completely unattached cab or tent.
In addition, I was wondering, if there is no evidence that they can see or smell (light, stank, irregular or excessive power consumption), can the fact that you have a personally owned and fully removable walk-in size container that you will not open be used in order to obtain a warrant?

Laws vary from country to country, state to state, province to province, but I'd love some input on this.If a grower is conducting a safe a responsible grow, and being respectful of their landlords property, I see no reason why they should need to see "whats in the box, man?"

Ok sorry for bumping an old post but this just happened to me yesterday, my landlord and the maintenance guy came in to do the annual inspection, this time I really did not care since I am legal to grow, I checked my plant count, etc, put the rec card inside the tent and tagged all my plants, but mainly my lease is almost up anyways so fuck it i dint hide the tent, get a warrant if u want me out that bad, all my furniture is nice and apt very clean, I'm not destroying nor modifying and I got a career, smoking weed is my medicine and growing plants is a fun hobby to me now, takes off stress and makes me Goddamn happier

anyways, I had a 4x4 tent in the corner of the kitchen, I live in the top floor of the corner unit, the top ducting was hooked up to the kitchens stove fan outlet for blowing hot air out through the roof with out modifying the structure, i had the ducting connected to a screw already there, secured, and easy to remove, so when the inspection time came, I just turned fans off , put the ducting behind the tent and lucky plants weren't on yet, the tent was sealed and no smell at all either. I'm currently 2 weeks into flower.

Of course they ask whats inside, I said just storage.. Quickly he asks me if he can see inside..HAHAHHAHAH ( FUCK NO ) But I really said I'm sorry it locked, its just stuff for my parents I"m keeping... MAN did they get quiet...ok, then the mexican maintenance guy was laughing,( He knew what it was for I'm guessing) i tried to keep a straight face too, Yes the manager was kinda freaked out but I din't care, so then they see the top ducting coming out and said what that... I stare up and then I said Oh that's old stuff man, junk just still there BUT ITS NOT connected to anything...Another home run for me...

well he walked around it, looked on top of it, and he had no choice but to say ok nice seeing u and leave. I was nice to him and played it like nothing is happening. I had other cleaning supplies, vaccums n brooms around it to look like that corner is just not being used but to STORE things

OK he may, if hes a dick try and kick me out but ask me if i give a fck, lol Maybe ill counter sue him for discrimination against my medical condition if he does ever find out whats inside my tent and tries to kick me out, if not ill take my 1250 deposit back and happily find a better quality place, shit I was just using their free utilities anyways and like how I'm close to work, but I'm thinking of buying a house soon thank God. for my first time grow I am using a 600watt digital ballats, carbon filter, infiline fans 6", 5 plant supercropped,scrogged, topped n fimmed, air cooled hood, pst me I got a video of my grow from clones to this bushy 5 plants about to be scrogged each with 20 top colas growing at least. If in a few weeks i don't get any BS I will post the rest of the story and my grow process if something happens I can let ya'll know what they decide to do

That would be an illegal search, a landlord has to give 24 hours notice for any reason to enter your property, even if you were arrested because he called the police and let them enter your rented home to find marijuana a good lawyer would have the evidence thrown out for illegal search and seizure

Fully! Thats what I'm saying. Obviously a person would take precautions with a smaller grow like hiding it well and stuff. And yes if your landlord is being a dick then there are steps one can take to obstruct and inconvenience them as well.
What I'm wondering though, is, if you are on good terms with your landlord, you are six weeks into flower, he gives you the required (2 days, 90 hrs, whatever it is where you live) notice, does a walkthrough, and he says "whats in there", can you legally say "I'm afraid I can't discuss that"? I know it looks heat, it looks suspicious.

I guess that the core of the question is, can a landlord search containers that are not built into the house? If not, then when does a container become a room or a structure?

It is not a room or sturcture untill it is permanently attached to the existing structure or building, also further more to be considered a bedroom it must have both a closet and window, in the US a landlord would not be able to legally search and any evidence found illegally would be throw out with any good lawyers Motion to suppress
