Can I Lease Space To My Friend


mibrains

Recommended Posts

so a very good friend of mine asked if she could share some of my grow space to help out by allowing her to grow her own meds, and some for one patient.

i have the space and so i am wondering whats the rule on leasing or renting the space in my own home to someone i trust?

is this advisable

what paperwork should i have on hand in the event we get checked out

what should i be aware of.

any information from the community would be appreciated!

thanks everyone!

I'm pretty sure they would have to be separate spaces in which she/you would have to have a rental agreement for and only access to, via separate keys and locks..

 

Otherwise there would be no distinction between yours and hers...

 

In my understanding...

Exactly if you have 2 growers with 12 plants each mingling their count together who knows how your local DA and LEO would deal with that so both grows have to be in seperate secure areas with a rental agreement for the non resident.

really?

i was afraid of that because it doesn't make sense so it's probably the rule....

truthfully who cares which are hers and which are mine, i mean really.....

she has a small apartment and a child so shes not able to grow at home i was about to become her caregiver since i have a slot open, but then she talked about signing a dementia pt. and how that could happen so we talked about the possibilities.

i would be taking care of our plants daily, she would come in on the weekend and when i travel for work....

because we could benefit and share the work load i thought it would be win-win, but it seems like the intent of the law would be only to allow her or i to have access to our own plants...

thats a bummer if its true, because i work outta town sometimes and have been having trouble finding someone to watch my dog and plants.

Care-givers and patients (any you authorize) that are card carriers are the ones that are allowed to be in the grow area. So yes you can tend each others crops. Although I would keep them seperate w/copies of paper work and lease agreement handy. Be Careful though I think this still falls in the grey area of the law. Pherhaps others will confirm or clearify this.

I would think as long as you have a lock on 'her' door in your house, it should be fine. Just rent her out a room and put a lock on it. Keep your own key hidden and if the law comes a knockin' just say that only she has access to that room. Have her fill out a rental agreement also.

 

That's what I would do. As long as her grow is separate from yours (in a different, locked room), my conclusion is that you'd be alright.

The case of CG growing in My home will be heard in front of a Judge this week, in Macomb county

Happens that I'm that grey area in the law, They say that I, The patient, CANNOT have access to that room ONLY the CG.

since it's in MY house I'm in possession of the marijuana!!

To the Best of my Knowledge :

 

My wife is a Caregiver , and her Patients are Allowed in the Grow Rooms ... :thumbsu:

 

The Plants are for her Patients and their card numbers are on the entrance of the door ...

 

--------------------------------

 

As for your Question " Mmibrains "

 

It might be better for You to be your Friends Caregiver

and then she would be Allowed in the Grow Room ....

 

Problem Solved .... :thumbsu:

I would stay away from any legal gray area. Regardless of what state law says and how clear or unclear it may be, the DEA could still bust in your doors. It happens often even at the local level. I don't agree with it, but that's the world we live in.

 

I'm a real estate agent, so if you need property I might be able to help. Northern Lower Michigan area. I don't care what you use the property for as long as it's considered legal in the state of Michigan. :-) . Don't ask don't tell is probably the best policy, and besides that, I strongly believe in client confidentiality and uphold it.

Be sure to consult an attorney. I've done alot of research on this topic. You should fully understand the risk involved. it's not as simple as you think. If your friend gets busted for doing anything stupid there is absolutly no way for you to protect yourself from loosing your house. After a cost analysis the feds may decided that they don't want your house, howered if they decided that they do want it there is noting you can do to stop them.

 

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE ROOM SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP AN EYE ON EVERYTHING! no one is your friend when they are being interrogated by the feds.

 

Learn ALL you can.

Good luck.

This thread has aged but the law lives on.  

My buddy in Detroit, Wayne County, rented to me an overgrown weedy plot 70 x 90 (6300 sq. ft.) for a summer grow.  

The plot is adjacent and contiguous with land on which sit one of his houses. His land is fenced with wood 6 high, so not accessible from the street, nor is it visible. The plot is at the back and end of a private drive.  I have affixed chicken wire attached to the fence so it arcs over the entire plot rising to 12' high throughout, and a gate in the fence around the plot is the only entrance and only I know the combination for my lock.  His 3 dogs run loose but are well-trained and don't try to enter my grow plot.  A video camera mounted on his roof sweeps his property and sends feed to a secure site from which only he can access the feed.  

Here is our rental agreement:

On this first day of May, 2015, (buddy's name) being the landlord and owner of a fenced, secure, controlled access plot of approx 6000 sq feet located at (his house address) hereby rents to (me) for the growing of 24 plants over the period May 1--December 17, 2015.   Renter agrees to post on the inside of the fence a copy of his mmmp card, and additionally a copy of one patient's mmmp card, who is registered to him as caregiver, as well as a copy of this rental agreement.   (buddy's name) hereby acknowledges receiving cash rent of ( $xxxx) on May 1, 2015.

Signed before a notary public this 5th day of May, 2015.

 

The problem is his wife, who just don't like me.  (This is a case of neighbor married neighbor).   She owns the house next door but lives in his house, and she wants to break the agreement and return the rent to me and make me relocate the plants.  They are legally married but he is sole owner of the plot I'm renting. He is a patient and caregiver, she is not mmmp, and he has 72 plants in an indoor grow in her house next door.  She says the lease is not legal for what I am doing, but won't say why, but she says it very loudly.  She says that because she paid the taxes on his house (taxes were deliquent when they married) gives her the right to void the arrangement.

Nothing but trouble there for you Pic............... Doesnt sound like she has any legal right to end the agreement but when it comes to cannabis you know all the bad things that could and probably will happen................. I would get the hell out of there.............. Good luck my friend................
