Marijuana could be legal in Canada as early as next summer, and landlords are already concerned that new laws could pose risks to their property. David Hutniak is concerned that the presence of marijuana in rental properties will increase the risk of damage and limit access to insurance coverage. In turn, medical marijuana patients are legally allowed to grow plants in their home without their landlord's consent. But marijuana advocate Dana Larsen questions Hutniak's rationale — especially considering residents will be limited to just four plants. He says if landlords can't keep you from growing house plants, they shouldn't be able to keep you from growing cannabis.
