What are the current rules when it comes to home growing in apartments, condos, townhomes, and trailer homes?

We had several requests to give a quick overview of the rules for growing cannabis in Minnesota. Here is that information.
We had several requests to give a quick overview of the rules for growing cannabis in Minnesota. Here is that information.

As of Minnesota Statutes 2024, Chapter 342, the rules for growing cannabis in apartments, condos, townhomes, and tailored homes are not explicitly detailed. However, the following considerations apply [1]: 

  • Personal Use: Adults 21 and over can grow up to eight cannabis plants, with no more than four being mature, flowering plants. If a patient enrolled in the registry program directs the patient's registered designated caregiver to cultivate cannabis plants on behalf, the patient is prohibited from cultivating cannabis plants for personal use [1]. 

  • Location: Cultivation must occur at a private residence 1]. 

  • Landlord Restrictions: Landlords can prohibit or restrict cannabis cultivation on their property [1]. 

  • Local Ordinances: Cities and other local government entities can regulate the time, place, and manner of cannabis businesses, including cultivation [2][1]. 

  • License Required: To grow cannabis beyond personal use limits, you must obtain a license from the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) [1]. 

  • Medical Cannabis: Registered designated caregivers can cultivate cannabis plants on behalf of one patient [1]. 

  • Retail Registration: Licensees who wish to partake in the retail sale of cannabis must obtain a retail registration from their local government [2]. 

  • Zoning Compliance: All cannabis businesses are required to obtain local zoning certification [2]. 

  • Building, Fire, and Zoning Requirements: A cannabis business with a license authorizing the retail sale of cannabis flower or cannabis products shall maintain compliance with state and local building, fire, and zoning requirements or regulations [1]. 


Given these points, the permissibility of growing cannabis in apartments, condos, townhomes, and tailored homes depends on: 

  1. Whether the individual is a renter or an owner. 

  2. The specific rules outlined in the lease agreement or HOA (or similar) agreement. 

  3. Local ordinances are in place. 

To determine the legality of growing cannabis in a specific apartment, condo, townhome, or tailored home, it is best to consult the lease or ownership agreement, local ordinances, and any regulations set forth by landlords or associations.
