Apartment growing, medical marijuana, is it possible to get away with it? In WA?

Swim has gotten away with apartment growing for just about 2 and a half months. Smell is non-existent on the outside, but there are still 4 weeks to go until harvest.

No landlord or maintenance guy has popped by at all, swim has been 100% undisturbed...he's never even seen his neighbors directly next door before as well.

Now assuming that the landlord/maintenance just so happens to show up, and assuming EVERYTHING indicating growing weed, is tucked away in personal furniture, and the plants are inside of grow tents, AND no electricity is being stolen, and safety/fire/electrical hazards are not present, could someone get away with the legal limit of plants under Washington State law, with the landlords knowledge of it going on? And assuming he actually gets pissed, and tries to sue, or pursue legal action?

Swim's lease had nothing against growing plants...no pets, but plants weren't defined. There were no rules against 'drugs'. Its a very conservative town however, and although the landlord may not even care (because he owns at least 400 other units of the same size), would any legal action be taken?

The landlord/maintenance should obviously know what is going on when they do find it, BUT, I've heard landlords are not allowed to go through other people's things, that they do not own, so maybe cabinets and closets can be inspected for damage, but would a grow tent that does not smell like weed pretty much be chill? There is something about water filled furniture, but the DWC buckets would be in the tent anyways, so could a landlord honestly do anything but be pissed?

Or maybe a lawsuit? But even then that would take longer than a flowering crop wouldn't it?


Sorry if I sound hella paranoid, but I've been out of meds for a few days, and this kind of stuff always freaks me out when I take breaks.

I'm not sure how it works where you are but in Canada, your landlord must approve the use for a grow. You're in too deep now playa...keep your eyes on the prize. Paranoia will be a huge distraction.

Here in Uk if your caught growing the green in your apartment you get evicted as the cultivation of cannabis wont be tolerated from living area, but it may be different there as the medical side of it is coming to light now.

Thanks guys! I really needed your input on the laws where YOU are...cause our jurisdictions are completely the same.

...Sorry, but telling me about the laws in your country help me know what its like around the world for marijuana laws, but it does nothing to help answer the question I asked, about Washington state.

with landlord approval and within the limits of your license its cool, if the landlord says no though he instantly has grounds to search and evict, its his place its up to him weather you can do that in there reguardless of what it says on the lease...if you were running a brothel out of your apartment and he found out you probally getting evicted too even though your lease didnt say anything about using the apartment as a whore house, see where im goin with this..so yes its legal to grow in your apartment as long as your landlords cool with it...buy a house= no landlord
