Growing in rentals

That's true, it only covers your stuff, but I still think it's a must.

renters insurance only covers the belongings of the renter like TV playstation ect....does nothing for the owner of the home

If your grow floods the floor, you burn down his house or say police break windows and doors during a raid or you just create damage to the property

renters insurance will not cover that

Ya. Id definitely get renters insurance to protect my own stuff but as its been said it doesn't do much for the property owner (aside from peace of mind knowing they're less likely to get taken to court in the case of extreme damage to the tenants property as a result of negligence on their end).

@Zinkslnk - thanks that's the type if story i wanted to hear.

I would like to hear from someone who is confident that the same result would occur if the operation was still up when the cops arrived. Also, as it applies to amendment 64 (sound like that was a medical grower, which might be different than the average Joe operating within the confines of amendment 64).

In CA I had cops investigate a grow fire in my apartment. Long story short, they complimented some plants I had and went on their way. I was fully legal in CA and the fire wasn't my fault.

A landlaord has no right to open kitchen drawers, bedroom or hall closet doors or look in cabinets.....

they can basically do a walk through to check on the overall condition....thats all

If you have a grow in a closet... they cant (legally) open the door to look...a tent in a closet is how I grew for years in my Apt

If the landlord has reason to believe you are growing marijuana, especially illegally/in a non-med state, he can look in any drawer/cabinet/closet he pleases. After all, it's HIS house.

In CO most leases are gonna spell out your rights to grow/not grow upfront because every property owner now has the right, under law, to make the call on whether or not they want marijuana (any marijuana) on their property. If they say NO and you grow anyway and they find out, all of your rights as a tenant are moot and you can be tossed in 3 days...no refund of security deposit/last months rent/etc...and no legal resourse because YOU broke the lease.

good luck everyone

A ballast burning out while Im not home is the scariest thing for me being a grower/renter.

What Ive noticed about growers who rent, in a non-med state, is that it all came down to necessity/survival. The reward was worth the risk. Either go hungry and homeless or go out growing...at least trying to do something independent, seeing as the dependance on another person/employer got them here in the first place.
They had to start growing to save themselves and family from becoming homeless after loosing their jobs.
I commend and salute all the growers large and small who arent gonna go down without a fight. They dont sit on their behinds waiting for handouts or letting the bills stack up.
They do whatever it takes to survive in this crumbling america. If they suffer injustice through government oppression of the poor and miserable, they are martyrs. Not criminals. Thank You to all who have taken risks to improve america for the better.

It's also the same immature attitude that makes it harder on everyone else who wants to change how pot is perceived and legislated.

why is it always the weak, scared children who are the first to call others "immature"?

legislation and minds don't get changed by bending over and letting them ram it up your ass like a good little bitch.

some of us got bills to pay, and lives to change. no time for your petty fears.

go lick the hand of your master and when your balls drop get back with us

Growing in rentals is tricky, an absentee owner or lazy property manager is helpful. Here they need to give a 48 hour notice prior to entry, but can enter at any time in case of an "emergency", so RE-KEY the locks!

Recently, I had an inspection in a rental that had 80+ plants. I've got a large truck with a tall camper-type shell on the back. Did the middle of the night move and had evertying clean as a whistle the next day. What a pain in the ass! It was touch and go, but I survived and so did the plants.

sounds like what I just did... only I had to trim a 4x8 tent that was done and move the other 4x8 and veg in 24 hours, lol...

im done now... setup always take waaay longer than tear down hey, ? lol...

talk about a busy week but like u said me and my plants are ok.

I got bills to pay too, and I find ways to make that happen without saying "fuck you" to the world.

You sound like a pissed off 15 year old punk kid and your ad hominem attacks make you sound foolish. Assume more please so you can keep sticking your foot in your mouth.

@Shliite... The same friend also had another incident where the cops came in the middle of his cycle. They had a complaint from the neighbor who was a highway patrol officer... Guess my buddy didn't size his scrubber right. Or that two car garage just wasn't sealed...

Long story short the cops photographed the grow and left. He never heard from them again, ...but to be on the safe side moved a month or so after.

growing some plants under artificial light, done responsibly, is not "saying fuck you to the world."

how far does one's head have to be shoved up big brother's ass to feel that way?

the only one who sounds foolish is you...coward.

You don't know anything me yet you assume so much. That's foolish.

You come off like Cartman: "I do what I want!"

Grow up young padawan. You have much to learn about bravery and cowardice.

look in the mirror dipshit. i'm the one ASSuming? last i checked, YOU called ME "immature" for no other reason than because I don't share your warped philosophy of bending over and letting random strangers freely ram their cocks up my asshole. try to keep up.

You come off like Cartman: "I do what I want!"

and you come off like an abused wife: "I can't do what I want, because HE wouldn't approve."

a wise man once said, "You don't know anything me yet you assume so much. That's foolish."

you'd do well to spend a little time reflecting on the fact that your own particular way of looking at the world isn't the only One True Correct(tm) way of thinking. this isn't middle school, feel free to join adult society any time you're ready. not everyone is "childish" or "immature" just because they see things differently and won't just sigh and accept things the way you do.

I never called you anything. I said you were acting like, or presenting yourself as, etc., but I never said that you as a person were any of those things. Comprehension is important in reading.

I wonder, why are you so defensive?

How do you know people put their cocks up my ass, figuratively or literally?

I love that your responses are almost all entirely ad hominem attacks. Still being foolish. Did you graduate high school?

At least you acknowledge the wisdom in those words.

@frito bandito

This thread has a lot of useful information and all we're doing is cluttering it with nonsense. Since I called you out first, whether or not I was right or wrong to do so, I apologize.

Now let's get on with trying to be constructive.

And if you aren't IN Colorado or asking about coming TO Colorado...butt the fuck out of the thread altogether. Yer over yer head!

Folks really just need to check those leases. If it says "no weed"...they mean it and you can be a punk all you want and bitch and moan it's someone else's fault all you want....and nobody is gonna give a fuck. The LAW (64) covers the rights of the Landlord. Period. The only way you can get around it or have ANY leg to stand on as a mere renter is if you are a medical patient because the LAWS are different and the same right is not >automatically< given to the Landlord in a medical situation. That isn't to say you still wouldn't get booted for lying to their face, but you MIGHT have a leg to stand on in court IF you have the $$$ to take it that far and fight it. Not sure WHY anyone would...but you can fight it if you want.

good luck out there folks

People post where and what they want on ICM monsoon. You aren't the OP, so why do you have the need to control the content?

This is another one of those really helpful threads that gets binned because people can't be civil to each other. We are only sharing opinions here, and everyone has the right to do so without being fanged.

likewise, who are you to tell anyone what to post?

Sorry my resteer from "Duudddde...OUTDOORS IS WHERE It's AT" back to "growing in rentals" wasn't to your liking. Have a good one.
