Cannabis farms are a growing problem for landlords, according to a report by Landlord Today drawing on insight from an insurer. Insurance claims by property owners have soared, and the report's headline states that cannabis farms send landlords' profits up in smoke.

Published in September 2026, the report centres on a rise in insurance claims linked to cannabis farms, which the insurer behind the findings characterises as a growing problem for property owners. No specific claim figures, timeframes or regional breakdowns appear in the summary material, so this brief reflects only what the headline and summary state.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, the report highlights an area of risk in the lettings sector. As the available source material is brief, readers are encouraged to read the original article for the insurer's full findings.
