Making landlords think you're weird?

All right, I don't live in an apartment, and I never have, but I probably will within the next year or so.
I plan on doing some growing, and I was wondering if any growers out there try and weird their landlord out by saying they're with Jehovah's Witness and shit to keep them from being snoopy.
Would it work?

dunno. you'd have to look the part to pull it off... and if you slipped up, that'd just make you look way sketchier.

Your logic goes against all tactical reasoning. Better try to blend in instead of being weird and in their face.

what works is paying your rent on time and being a good neighbor, it's the shitty tenants that are scrutinized

Yeah, this...
If anything, be friendly and chummy with the landlord. (Obviously, this depends on the gender and age of said landlord.)
Invite him over for a beer knowing that he won't come because it'd be weird and awkward.

You could just find a good landlord...I've lived in my apartment for 4 years and never had an inspection or anything, the only thing I've had to worry about is them showing it lately to try to find new renters because my lease is about to expire.
The people I rent from rent out so many apartments that they can't even keep track of who is who. I'd rather have a landlord I never see than one that tries to be friends or keep an eye on me or anything like that. privacy

Your angle must be all wrong then I dont even know anyone in the housing department aside from the people who give me my mail. Hard for them to kick me out if they know nothing about me or my dr00gz.

Yep maybe so. The only worry there is the chance of having douchebag neighbors. Mine have always been cool though.

The best way to blend in as a "normal" person is pay your bills on time and avoid getting complaints called on you, such as noise n stuff. I personally wouldn't grow in my apartments though, I'll just wait until I get my own house.

yeah, this is very true. the only real reasons a landlord will check up on you are if you missed a bill, received a complaint, or need something fixed. growing weed in an apartment complex is really sketchy though. depending on the strain, your whole floor could reek of dank nugs.

oh well that changes everything. shrooms can be easily concealed. i've heard of multiple cases on the shroomery where the landlord was in the same room as the grow op and noticed nothing. it really depends on how you play it off and whether or not the landlord suspects anything/trusts you.

When i got back from spring break my friggin room door was open, which i assume is due to their damn safety/fire detector inspections. I dont think they knew what the big plastic bin full of holes and perlite is for or i woulda heard from em by now

hahaha nice. i'd be surprised if any of those fucks knew what a shroom grow op looks like. but i sure do love it when stuff like that happens... like you indirectly stuck it to the man or something.. it feels somewhat empowering.

I am a landlord, and I don't fuck with my tenants unless I receive complaints (or don't receive the rent). The most important things when choosing a tenant are their previous residence and employer reference checks, and then their credit report. I don't give two shits if my tenants are growing some weed in their place (so long as they are doing it properly; it isn't conspicuous, there isn't a fire hazard or moisture damage, and they don't have shady folk showing up at all hours of the day and night). Hell, I'll even give 'em tips!

I believe that the tenant should be just as picky choosing a landlord as a landlord is choosing a tenant. I'll only rent from people like geokills.
