My Tenants Are Drug Dealers – What Should I do?

looks like hes sucking allot of hydro there lol

Like the video - shades of Cheech and Chong.

We just inspected a fully furnished property the tenant had left - in the wardrobe was all this light reflective foil stuck to the inside of the doors and the walls. I'm informed this is for growing cannabis. I guess I am lucky he chose not to bore through the walls and floors of the property and was a small scale farmer who wanted to hide his habit :)

At least they were considerate enough to cover the carpets LOL!!!

If we could just harness the ingenuity and resourcefulness of these people we could surely cure cancer in a decade!!

As a matter of interest - can you insure against this kind of destruction/vandalism or is it covered under LAndlords business insurance?

Jools

I'm wondering if it would come under the malicious damage by tenant - although that is restricted to 5k and is only on few policies (I know that as I only choose ones where you are covered by this - otherwise the tenant can trash your property and you have no recourse to insurance)

Looks like they had a pretty good hydroponics set up going on.

My cuzzy in Oz used to do that sort of thing so I have seen it before. The chemicals in the bathroom will be fertilizer which is required to max out the harvest and make the plants grow like there is no tomorrow. They have to have a great deal of moisture and light (as previously mentioned) but it is also important to keep a good airflow around the plants, hence the ducting and, undoubtedly, some pretty high powered extractor fans.

I used one of the fans my cuzzy had to make a fan for their "dunny". It is so powerful that the loo can be used immediately after someone has "filled the pan" and you'd never know!! (except the seat might be a bit warm.....)

There endeth the lesson on growing weed hydroponically.....

That is not hydroponic. Hydroponics is growing plants in water without soil... the dude in that house grew his weed in plant pots using a soil based medium.

The big brown box is a carbon filter extractor which filters the smell and blows warm fresh air out the other side.

They DON'T use UVB lamps, completely wrong info right there. They use High Intensity Discharge lights, typically High Pressure Sodium bulbs and Metal Hallide. Looks like a pretty efficient setup though. Also as the person before me rightly said, not hydroponics. The liquids in the bathroom are indeed fertilizers.

What if they do grow weed you silly landlords this is the sole reason for all these checks cos they say people make money from it which is bullshit for 99.999% landlords will be cool with it most of the time if you offer them cash when they find it thats all they love is the money after all thats why they dont like it they think you are making more than them typical narcissism which they all have that i have met the people who grow/smoke cannabis unlike drinking alcohol or playing top trumps are peace loving people with no violence and should be left alone i myself cant grow anymore cos of these 2 monthly checks and i am endlessly furious about landlords could almost say i hate them all! been waiting scince 9am this morning for these rats to turn up loosing me money every 2 months i wish Putin and Xi would hurry up and save us all from this form of dog eating capitalism
