Linkage: FL Landlord Tenant Law
In a standard property inspection, I would say nothing to worry about, but when showing property for sale, that's a whole 'nother story.
Landlord's can't violate your privacy during an inspection (most inspections are limited to 'common areas', ie living room, dining, kitchen, basically any place a visitor would usually see), but a potential buyer has no such restrictions. A buyer will definitely want to look in the closets. As a matter of fact, real estate pros often point to kitchens, bathrooms, and closets as prime selling points.
Combine that with the property assessor, home inspector, etc, and you're much better off moving yourself and/or the plants to a safer location, in my opinion.

Sounds like a major hassle to have to box up every time someone shows up to see the house..

In Florida I had the same situation, potential buyers. I moved the plants to a buddies house and I never heard back. The landlord never asked to enter. We moved the plants for nothing. I tore down and stopped growing completely (for a little over a year) after that crop, because due to the move too many people found out about my little hobby. In hindsight I would have actively argued/asserted my rights to the landlord via telephone and see if can get him to call it off, in light of that I should have tore down, not involved friends.
Deadbolt on the door, private storage of all your personal belongings & you can't find the key at the moment if they insist on looking for some odd reason. Make sure there is zero light, smell, or noise. End of story. 
If there is no light, smell, or noise then they could equally suspect you of having a naked sex slave monkey in the closet. (as compared to growing pot) That is if there is not High Times magazines laying around on the bathroom floor & incense burning with Bob Marley posters everywhere! I'm just saying..
