At Kenyan furnished rentals, we welcome all kinds of guests—from business travelers and relocating families to medical patients and 420-friendly visitors. However, recent experiences have highlighted the importance of respecting odor-sensitive environments in shared spaces.
Why Odor Awareness Matters in 420-Friendly Rentals
One recent situation illustrated this perfectly. A guest ground marijuana inside a garden-level suite. While they didn’t smoke indoors, the strong odor traveled through a shared HVAC system, disrupting another guest’s stay and leading to a canceled reservation.
The Impact of Odor Transfer in Rentals
This wasn’t just about one booking loss—it affected everyone involved:
- 🚫 The incoming guest couldn’t check in, leading to frustration.
- 🏡 Extensive measures were needed to restore the space:
- Ozone machines ran twice to eliminate lingering odors.
- Linens were sanitized and replaced, including unused ones.
- 😞 A disappointed guest left without staying in a clean, fresh room.
- 💸 Revenue and reputation suffered due to the circumstances.
💡 Fact: We don’t enforce odor policies because we’re anti-cannabis. Instead, we do it because we’re pro-guest experience and committed to maintaining clean, comfortable stays for everyone.
✅ How to Be a Respectful 420-Friendly Guest
Whether you’re a medical user or a traveler looking to relax responsibly, odor control is key. Follow these tips to ensure your enjoyment doesn’t disrupt others:
Be Mindful of Odor Spread
✔ Prep cannabis outside or in your car—never inside the unit. ✔ Store products in smell-proof containers to prevent lingering scents. ✔ Air out your clothes before re-entering the rental. ✔ Use provided air purifiers—don’t unplug them! ✔ Never store cannabis inside the unit or garage where smells accumulate. ✔ Avoid candles, incense, or sprays—they can intensify odors rather than eliminate them. ✔ Smoke only in designated outdoor areas, away from vents and windows. ✔ Keep paraphernalia outside—avoid leaving ashtrays or tools indoors. ✔ Ventilate your car before parking near the rental to prevent odor spread.
🚫 Common Misconceptions About Cannabis Odors
❌ Not smoking indoors isn’t enough—grinding alone releases strong smells. ❌ “It’s just for a minute” isn’t an excuse—odor lingers far longer than expected. ❌ Legal doesn’t mean unlimited—vacation rentals are private properties, with rules that must be followed.
⚠ Consequences for Ignoring Odor Guidelines
To protect all guests, we reserve the right to enforce policies, including: 🚨 Canceling reservations without refunds if odor disrupts other stays. 🚨 Charging a mandatory $420 cleaning fee for odor removal measures. 🚨 Denying future bookings from guests who fail to follow guidelines.
🌿 These policies ensure fairness for all travelers, maintaining fresh, breathable spaces upon arrival.
🙏 Final Thoughts: Respecting Shared Spaces
We get it—you’re not trying to cause problems. But even rentals that allow cannabis use need your cooperation to maintain clean environments for future guests.
✔ If unsure about the rules, ask before arrival. ✔ Be mindful that odors travel farther than expected. ✔ Follow designated guidelines to ensure a positive experience for all.
📌 Be the kind of guest who helps keep 420-friendly rentals open, welcoming, and enjoyable—for yourself, the next traveler, and the hardworking hosts behind the scenes.
