Legal weed could pose risk for home buyers

With the legalization of marijuana, the amount of people looking to grow the plant inside their home is set to skyrocket, and it could cause potential issues for anyone looking to buy a home,

Issues with fungus, mould and even structural damage could result from the humidity and improper ventilation, and as it stands, if a person was to sell their home, there is no obligation for them to disclose they once grew marijuana there.

It’s hard sometimes for the realtor or home inspector to see what’s been done and the damage.

It’s now legal to grow it and more people are going to start doing it now. Let’s say the property has changed hands, three or four or five times, and none of those people in the middle have ever grown marijuana, but maybe the first person did.
