is the house's owner held accountable, as well as the resident grower?

If you can find the new wording that states the landlord has to inspect the place, definitely post it up- state or fed? Also I am wondering if it specifies that the landlord must ENTER the building/apartment to do these inspections, or just kinda poke around and make sure things are cool. I know that the legal leases I have seen have clauses for removing tenants when their behaviour impacts the neighbors or results in repeated police visits. This is all the more reason to live your lifestyle in a quiet and unassuming way, that's for sure!

Anyway this thread just showed up in the report area and be assured that it has been under scrutiny and some of the more insulting stuff is gone. Please continue to be nice, everyone... same team, eh?

My landlord inspects my apartment once a year for fire safety. I am glad I am legally able to grow with my card for medical reasons.

That is also a legal requirement . :thumbsup: :D

Criminal Acts and Activities: Landlord Liability Seattle WA - Seattle WA, legal attorney, Seattle WA lawsuit, Seattle WA law firm, Seattle WA tenant, Seattle WA landlord, Seattle WA Property & Money
This one covers the Seattle area but may others have similar laws in place.
They use similar laws to confiscate buildings that have been used as brothels under the "allowing the use of a building for immoral purposes" banner, it is to make landlords more accountable for what happens on thier premises.

Idk,said conversation seems to elude to one general out come.Study up on said laws intent and general goings on of the legal world around you before you make such bold ventures.Good luck all and all,cheers to the idea;can't wait for execution!...of said plan

its not automatic, like everyone said its up to the police to PROVE that the landowner knew what was going on or not. if you have your stories straight the landlord will be fine. the police cant even question him untill they have enough evidence to charge him, a little thing called habius corpus.

honestly if you are buying a country home get one thats VAST and FAR AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION!!!! its hard to do if you dont like the country and being far as shit from everything but if your a hardcore farmer and you love growing weed its easy and its the best way. plant your crops far away from the house, that way you can argue people planted it on your property without your knoledge AND THE STATE HAS TO PROVE OTHERWISE, REASONABLE DOUBT YADA YADA YADA.

because of this when cops do flyovers and find large crops out in fields they rarely ever try to prosecute the land owner, they just rip em all out. i mean thats the way it was in the NON-medical state where i grew up.... it was a blue state though.

if the crop is right behind your house clearly visable from your back porch then its kinda hard to say you didnt know about it.

Habeas corpus literally means 'holding body' and means they can't detain him for more than a set period of time without a charge; they can, however, give him the ol' knock-n-talk whenever they feel like it.

Which is precisely the reason that many states have introduced similar laws to the ones I posted above making it a landlords requirement to "ensure" that thier property isn't being used.
The landlord must take a pro-active stance and inspect his property.

Stinky is right on the money when it comes to the writ of HC.
Habeas corpus can only be used to challenge unlawful imprisonment it does not prevent the questioning of any suspect , the suspect may of course use his/her right to remain silent* and his/her right to an attorney*. :D

You don't need to be arrested to exercise your rights.. :thumbsup: :cool:

Lol... like the asterixes... asterii? uh... anyway... the cynic in me is chuckling at your annotations.

HB means "no detention without charge"

yeh they can do a knock-and-talk. doesn't mean to have to answer the knock. they'd be knocken' on my door all night. even if you decide to answer the door they cant make you stay and talk to them about anything. all you have to do is identify yourself and say "i have nothing to say to you, i am asking you to leave now". thats it, they always try to get people to "come down to the station" to talk to them, and they always try really hard to make it seem like its not optional, but unless you are being arrested or a warrant for your arrest has been issued, you have absolutely NO legal obligation to speak to the cops, or go anywhere with them for questioning.

if they call you and ask you to come down to the station ask "am i being arrested?" and if they say "no we just want to ask you some questions" then say "well i have nothing to say, so im not coming down to the station".

if they are investigating a crime (they found bud on your renters property) then they have the legal right to detain you for 10 minutes to "gather evidence", but they cant search any property without a warrant. there isn't much evidence they can gather from seeing the outside of my door for 10 minutes (this is why you don't answer the door), so they rarely invoke this privilege during the "knock and talks" or supposed "questioning". when you say "i have nothing to say to you, i am not going with you" then the conversation is usually over and you get the satisfaction of seeing a cop steaming in his boots as we waddles away with his tail between his legs after having his beloved laws turned against him by a simple stoner.

remember kids, the constitution is your friend. its the most important set of laws in America when it comes to growing weed, or anything.
