As the use of marijuana becomes more prevalent, property owners who rent out their homes are increasingly facing challenges that may catch them by surprise. Imagine discovering that a seemingly innocuous rental has been used as a marijuana grow house, complete with extensive modifications to the home’s interior. This was a harsh reality for a recent client, who was stunned to find that their next-door neighbors had transformed a rented property into a full-scale cultivation operation. The result? Significant structural damage and a home that was practically unsellable.
Such scenarios underscore the importance of vigilance in property management. The presence of pot smoke or the remnants of a grow operation can drastically devalue your property. Before resorting to extreme measures like tearing out walls and ducting, consider alternatives like BioSweep odor removal services. We specialize in eradicating the stubborn odors associated with marijuana, saving both your property and investment.
Here are a few tips for property owners:
- Screen Tenants Carefully: Always know who you’re renting to. If potential tenants are smokers, consider a higher security deposit to cover potential odor removal costs.
- Do Not Delay Treatment: If you suspect previous tenants smoked or grew marijuana, address the odors immediately. Avoid painting or other renovations until BioSweep’s professional odor removal has been completed.
