You've just got to be honest with them. I would think that you could set up an appt. for anyplace you are considering renting and then just bring it up in casual conversation. "Oh wow! Look at that storage room under the stairs. That would make a pretty good grow room." If he has a positive reaction, you're good to go. Maybe even work out a trade with him! If negative, then you don't want him as your landlord anyway. I'm assuming you have your card?

I have a buddy that lives in Crescent City and he said the for rent ads up there quite often state one way or the other. Good luck!:smokin:
