Want to Ban Marijuana from your Rental? Act Now.

“Want to Ban Marijuana from your Rental? Act Now, Lawyers Say”
VTDigger – Nov 11, 2018

A new marijuana law could create a hazy area for landlords and their lawyers. In July, it became legal for Vermonters to grow and possess a small amount of marijuana for personal use. The issue of commercial marijuana sales is expected to come up in the Legislature next winter. The new law makes it clear that landlords can ban tenants from using or possessing marijuana on their property. Landlords already have a right to ban many legal activities – such as the use of tobacco or alcohol – and marijuana is also illegal under federal law. Many leases ban all illegal activity from rentals.
