Marijuana In Condos

Marijuana In Condos
In Ontario, the exclusive right to the sale of marijuana has been granted to the LCBO. The legalization of marijuana is sure to be a popular topic for 2018.

Concerns for Condos The legalization of marijuana means that adults will be allowed to possess and consume small amounts of marijuana.

Apart from the financial concerns, there is a concern that the legalization of marijuana will result in an increase in the number of complaints received by managers as those who enjoy marijuana use it more openly than in the past when it was illegal.

Existing Tools for Condominiums Once the legislation comes into force condominiums will not be able to enforce against an owner smoking or growing marijuana inside their units simply because the activity is illegal.

Some condominiums are prohibiting the smoking and growing of marijuana completely while others are creating restrictions on it.

Medical Marijuana Users It is important to note that, regardless of the restrictions put in place, some people will be able to possess and consume marijuana in their units due to medical reasons.

The condominium has a duty to accommodate a person's disability, which may include allowing that person to consume marijuana even where it is prohibited in the condominium's rules.
