Smoking policies and medical marajuana cards

Is it legal to refuse a prospective tenant if they have a medical marajuana card? Nothing against medicinals, but I don’t want to deal with the smell and subsequent cleanup. I also don’t want a lawsuit. I’m in Michigan where it is legal both medically and recreationally.

If you have a clause in your lease that smoking is not allowed, smoking marijuana is still "smoking".  When an individual has a medical marijuana card they also have various options of how to take it, other than smoking: edibles, creams, etc.

Remember, you should always confirm all tenant-landlord advice against your local and state laws.
