In most cases, no that lease clause will not protect your property from seizure. The seizure action is not being taken against you, the LL, it is being filed against the real estate. Therefore, the LL's intent is not pertinent to the seizure, so it doesn't matter that you intended the tenant's not to deal drugs. The property was a material "participant" in the drug activity and is subject to seizure without regard to the owner's intentions.
