Reality TV star and musician Joel Madden has been asked to leave his Australian home at The Star casino after drugs were found in his home, Channel 7 reports.

CHARGES have not been laid against The Voice star and Silver Logie winner Joel Madden, who was allegedly found in possession of marijuana at his Sydney apartment on the weekend.

Police have confirmed they executed a search warrant on Madden's serviced apartment at The Darling hotel, inside The Star casino complex, at about 10.30pm on Sunday night.

"During the search a small amount of plant product, believed to cannabis, was found," a police spokesman said.

"A 34-year-old man who occupies the apartment was present during the search. No charges have been laid."

Channel Seven have reported that police had been alerted to the site by a cleaner.

Madden was in possession of 5g of the drug, which isn't enough for a charge.

In NSW, any person found with 15g or less of marijuana is issued with a caution.

Madden has reportedly been ordered to quit his Sydney penthouse apartment.
