I will soon be rented a two bedroom house in the UK. I plan on using one of the rooms for a grow.
My question is: Does the landlord have the legal right to enter the property, or is there some kind of privacy clause that would allow me to stop him?

 

[InsaneBongHit]

Best idea is to rent through a letting agency, usually means the landlord doesn't have much time to sort out the renting themselves. See if the landlord owns any other properties. Who the previous occupants were and the reason they left. If the landlord owns any other properties, and if he goes abroad. I would just blatantly say to them. They don't snoop round do they ? it's just I have rented before and the landlord used to sneak in when I was out, it was a bit creepy. <--- these are the kind of things I would ask... TBH even if I wasn't growing I would ask these questions, who wants some weirdo having a key to the place where you live ? You don't have some guy following you and going into the car when your in the shops after you rent a rental car, that would be weird. If they don't trust you they shouldn't rent their house to you. A rental agreement is an agreement of mutual trust IMO you don't need some perv snooping round your property when out. I would change the locks also that way if they ever do come round and your not in and they ask why the locks are change you have a legal right to tell them to f*** off for 24hours, in which time you can get your shit together and get out. Most people are brainwashed sheep if they see a grow op they will think you're some kind of alien.

PS: get a council house/flat. Then no 1 checks. My cousin got a 1 bed flat, and I'm soon to convert that shit into a nice big sog op.

i have to disagree with bonghit a little here DON'T go through a letting agent it's in the contract that if the property is at risk they can enter without your permission, this is intended for leaking pipes,roofs etc but they will want to inspect it at least once every 6 months and if any of the neighbours report strange happenings you'll receive a letter with an inspection notice for the next day. they don't need you to be at the property for an inspection this happened to me after i had a couple of probs on the last inspection. so far i've had nothing but probs the noiler packed in in the spare room where my tent was full in veg, had to hide them in the kitchen, when i first moved in had an inspectiom had to put them in the wardrobe and lie on the bed with my arse hanging out with the misses saying i was ill and the last time i only had a couple of young 1s so put them out the back, everytime i had to dismantle everything first thing and then wait for them to come and go and then get it back together as fast as possible. honestly mate going through a letting agents is nothing but a nightmare i'm currently looking to go private at least if they do catch you you can try and talk, reason, bribe, threaten them. like insane bonghit said mate if you can get a council flat or house you'd be much better off i got mates who have been trying to get the council out for repairs for ages with no joy they moan and all i can think is lucky bastards lol

Ahh, you don't get better than from the horses mouth. Some landlords will try enter when they like which is why I suggest changing the locks. They would have to prove that something in breach of the contract was going on in order to just enter, and with no keys they would have to call the police and give a real good reason for wanting to enter when your not home. Breaking in could potentially put themselves in trouble, not only that but the landlord would have to explain why they are trying to enter the property when you're not at home. In most contracts they have to give you notice. As for council houses. My mate used to grow at his girlfriends house and a council man came round to fix the kitchen cabinets. He had plants upstairs, the council guy said to him "smells like decent ganje you got going" He said he just smiled and didn't know what to say. But nothing came of it. I personally wouldn't have a room smelling of plants and also have a repair man come round.

So if I go through a letting agency I have a legal right to 24 hours notice. I remember that.

I know a council house is the best way to go but I'd be waiting years for one.

 

[InsaneBongHit]

I wouldn't take my words as gospel, just some ideas. Always go over the contract with a fine tooth comb. Take notes from Dragon they seem to have done well so far.

 

[RicknChels]

fully agree with W Dragon, letting agents = nightmare, not worth the hassle at all. but if you're going to, definitelly change the locks, we had some guy try to enter on more than one occasion. if you're going to do it, be prepared to take your setup down within a day.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Nobody has the right to enter any property where somebody else is the legal tennant without permission from the tennant,no landlord, no agency, no copper (that's why they get warrent's), NOBODY.
If you rent a property then changing the locks when you move in should be standard practice,you don't have to give anybody a key untill you move out.
If the contract has the "in case of hazard/danger" clause,then request it to be taken out before you sign it and if you don't but you change the locks and they want to come in then they have to break your door down = criminal damage/burglary, i don't care who "OWNS" the property if your name is on the contract then you have the rights not the owner/vendor.
Don't get bullied by pre-written standard tennancy agreements,if you don't like it then negotiate.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

And you're all misunderstanding the "24 hours notice" thing, yes they have to give you 24 hours notice (in writing) of an intention to visit but you don't have to let them in if you don't want, nobody "TELLS" me anything they "ASK", if I say no fuck em.

And i'll say it again, the only thing that let's somebody into another mans property without permission is a court issued warrant!
(or the firemans axe,if there is smoke coming out of the windows).

Anyways, I got some Bubblebags (the best thing since sliced bread!) from EBay, £28 and a fookin bargain!
It's a 5 bag kit (not official Bubblebags) that comes with a 220 work bag, a 160, a 120, a 75, a 20 and a free pressing screen thrown in (very usefull).
I take the 120 out and keep everything from 160 to 75 (more yield this way but it's not full melt) and it makes killer hashish.

It took 2 hour's of work and 15 mins of pressing to get the final product,the bags have paid for themself after this first go less than 0.1 in a pipe will keep me baked for a good 10 hours.
The rest of the "Henry" is going towards my supplies for The Prodigy on Saturday,and i know you're all jealous.

Aye, toughening up the old stomach, trying to deflect ninja swords! that's some crazy tough skin on those blokes. It wasn't an age issue, so not consuming related, i genuinely think they thought i was gonna have a big of hack n slash that's all in the past luv

Bonghit: I have to say i did not have the most ideal experience with basement lighting. The order went though ok, the order arrived no problem, except a. the box had a big ass "BASEMENTLIGHTING LTD" sticker on it which wasn't too subtle haha, and b. i ordered a 200w CFL from them and received the 300w, which was fine, but then summer came, so had to buy a new lower power bulb (no extraction in my tent )


Just got a book through from amazing and they had some leaflets in the package, one of which is for Donald Russell beef, aged 21 days etc, sounds pretty good, but they state that if you've ever tasted better you'll get your money back. Anyone tried this? I figure due to previous employers, i can find MUCH better, but more importantly surely anyone could phone up and just lie saying they bought a 35day aged angus ribeye from the local butcher. Tempted to grab some free steaks

I sell 21 day matured steak at work everyday,eat them at least once a week.
I'll go halfs with you,lol.

 

[likalotapus11]

any one know of a heavy yielding sativa that grows well in the u.k. outdoors
cheers

have been reading about columbian skies but yet to hear anyone be successfull with it

 

[tip top toker]

Yorkshireman, there are more situations than "fire" that allow people into your house without a court warrant, if you were to give me your address, there are huge odds saying i could have a policeman knock your front door in by the morning, as has happened to myself on occasion. Also simply telling your landlord to bugger off after he's served written notice, well, you are most likely denying him reasonable entry, and he will goto court for an order and he will win

Thought I'd drop by and say hi! Got a few girls outdoors, planted far too early this year and they're getting a little too big! Having some little bastard insect problems at the moment but getting there.

Anyone else fed up of the constant rain? Forecast is for another week of it at least

 

[tip top toker]

Howdy Mark, for some reason i read your name and it reads back as marmaduke. Big plants = big yield, sod the farmers and landowners, big plants need to be done!

Another week? bloody hell! No rain at present, just grey clouds and winds, yet at the same time silly hot and humid! went out in a fleece thinking i would be a little chilly, wrongo!

 

[Markmandude]

Marmaduke LOL! Can't say I was disappointed once I found a new spot for my big uns am quite looking forward to a bountiful harvest (if those bugs do any more damage THAT'S IT the whole garden is getting paved over little sods).

Yeah man it's evil this heat, just can't escape it, we need some good wind to blow it over.
