how to hide your grow tent in a rental

Simply buy some herb and vegetable seeds, put the packages in a visible place near the tent. If the landlord questions the tent tell him it's a herb and vegetable garden then point out the opened seed packages. If he asks to look inside simply tell him no because it's their night time and need complete darkness. He has no right to look through and open your personal things.

How stupid do you think landlords are? lol

Any kind of gardening indoors could promote mould issues so the vast majority of landords are educated about that shit and aren't going to say, OK that's cool and walk away.

Best is to find a cool landlord before moving in and lay some bud on him once in a while.

I'd just shut everything down, toss a tarp over it with some boxes laying around and make sure there was bread baking in the oven when he showed up to cover any stray odours.

Glad I don't have a landlord.

Weird...i was the last one to leave a comment here 4 years ago. Strangely enough i find myself in the same situation again, except this time with a bigger legit grow tent. HOWEVER, I have a solution this time. Put the tent in a bedroom with absolutely nothing in it, except power outlets and somewhere to vent, preferably in the basement and put a lock on the door. Theres nothing for the landlord or any maintenance person to have to go in there. Theres no hot water heater, no breaker box, no plumming, NO NOTHING...most importantly NO REASON to go in that room.

That might be Country or State dependant. In Australia the real estate must have free access to any room or space they so chose unless the owner has stated otherwise or its written into the rental agreement. They are inspecting the property on behalf of the owner.

They are normally not permitted by law to touch anything personnel let alone move or open anything.

Well apparently my buddies landlords are pretty stupid haha. Same advice I gave him and it worked flawlessly.

Have you guys actually had landlords that searched your place before?

I have rented most of my life and never had a landlord search my house, even though they could. Most they ever did was come by and do a quick walkthrough. They don't want to be in your house any more than you want them there. They are literally just checking that you aren't trashing the place.

Just lock a bedroom and say your brother is sleeping in there right now and that he works nights or some shit. Or you can say some other excuse but really most do not care about what is going on inside a bedroom if the rest of the house looks like a responsible person is living there. They are just people like you and me. They are not looking for a reason to throw you in jail, just making sure you aren't fucking their house up. Most will say ok and move on. If your landlord is such a dick that such an excuse isn't good enough, bruh, move. There are plenty of cool landlords that don't give a fuck as long as your are not messing up the house and looking like trash.

Just get the landlord nice and stoned before they inspect and they won't notice. lol

People or pets not on the contract is shady shit.....a couple of plants no biggie.....its more about how much do I have to fix when they leave.
