Landlord group advocates for no pot smoking or growing for renters
A provincial landlord association is recommending owners of rental units not allow their tenants to smoke marijuana on balconies, or be allowed to grow marijuana in a building they occupy.
On Friday, the Saskatchewan Landlords Association (SKLA) held an information session for landlords and other interested parties in North Battleford. The meeting was meant to clear the air on a lot of unanswered questions regarding the rights of landlords in the province when it comes to the legalization of cannabis.
The federal government will make possession, consumption and growing of up to four cannabis plants legal on Canada Day next year.
Chanda Lockhart is the executive officer of the SKLA and advised landlords to update their leases to prohibit the growing of cannabis plants in multifamily housing, along with the complete prohibition of smoking of any kind, including on balconies.
