Yes — in Nevada, your landlord can restrict or prohibit cannabis use on their property, even if you are a registered medical marijuana patient.
Here’s why: Nevada law treats tenancy as a contract between you and your landlord. The state’s cannabis laws do not override a landlord’s right to set rules for their property. Specifically, NRS 453D.100(2)(c) says that nothing in Nevada’s marijuana statutes prevents a property owner from prohibiting or restricting the smoking, cultivation, processing, manufacture, sale, delivery, or transfer of marijuana on their property.
In practice, this means:
If your lease agreement bans cannabis use, your landlord can enforce that rule.
Medical marijuana laws protect you from criminal penalties, but they don’t guarantee housing rights.
Some landlords may allow non-smoking forms (like edibles or tinctures), but that depends entirely on the lease terms.
So, while you’re legally allowed to be a medical marijuana patient, your landlord has the final say on whether cannabis can be used or grown in your rental home.
