You probably do not have a legal action against the owner, but you may be able to contact your local city attorney and ask they be noticed as a nuisance. If they are determined to be a nuisance, then the owner will be forced to evict them.

If you see people coming and going on a constant basis, this may also be a cover for an illegal sales and/or distribution and/or growing location. This may make it worth contacting the distict attorney as well as the local police department.

Of course, if these people are proper medical marijuana patients, there may be little anyone can do unless they are improperly or illegally distributing/disseminating their medication.

Actually, Mr. Linden is wrong, you can bring a nuisance action against the landlord. Permitting drug use on his premises is actionable under Health and Safety Code sections 11570 et seq. and Civil Code section 3479. In order for such a suit to be successful, however, you have to notify the landlord and demand he do something. He does have a right to evict for this activity. If he does not, then you have a right to sue.
