I received a call today about a tenant smoking marijuana on the steps of my apartment building. Fortunately, it was easy to deal with because the entire property is a non-smoking property, and it is specified in every rental agreement. Addressing a tenant smoking marijuana was straightforward, as the entire property is non-smoking. Issuing a 3-day notice to cure violations resolved it. Managing marijuana use in property management remains challenging due to differing state and federal laws. Understanding these differences is crucial, especially for federally funded properties, which must prohibit marijuana use regardless of state laws.

For privately funded properties, there's more flexibility. No-smoking policies naturally extend to marijuana and balance health standards with medical accommodations. Verifying medical claims should involve senior management and fair housing attorneys.

Handling complaints about marijuana odor requires balancing medical needs with other residents' comfort. Staying informed about evolving marijuana laws ensures compliance and maintains high service standards.
