Landlord consent and cannabis lease clauses

Federal and state law current as of September 2026 — verify with counsel.

Key takeaways

  • As of September 2026, medical marijuana is Schedule III; adult-use remains Schedule I (Federal Register 2026-08176 and pending hearing).
  • 280E still hits adult-use SG&A; medical books may take ordinary deductions — apportion dual licenses.
  • SBA loans are unavailable for plant-touching targets (SOP 50 10 8).
  • Deals close on regulatory approval; control does not move early.
  • Single-store commentary multiples of about 3x–6x EBITDA are trade ranges, not appraisals (2025–2026 commentary).

Landlord consent and cannabis lease clauses is a land-use and lease problem sitting under a cannabis license. The building can be worth more than the paper, or it can be worthless without a cannabis-use clause. This page is written for owners and buyers and for more than one license class. It is not legal or tax advice.

On Landlord consent and cannabis lease clauses, the federal overlay is a schedule split, not a national license. Federal Register 2026-08176 moved qualifying medical and FDA-approved marijuana to Schedule III on 28 April 2026. Adult-use marijuana stayed on Schedule I while a DEA hearing record sits with an administrative law judge. That is why IRC §280E still bites adult-use SG&A and why a medical slice can look different after tax.
