Contact WPS Ltd for a quote to provide independent meth testing before you buy or rent out your home (email: mail@propertysurvey.co.nz)
If you have a property that is damaged by methamphetamine use you may need to have specific insurance in place to make a claim. You will also have to show that the home had tested negative before the new tenants took occupancy. Landlords should get an independent test and ensure that the tenant(s) who sign the lease acknowledge that the property tested negative for meth prior to their occupancy. Otherwise, tenants who find that the home tests positive after taking occupancy could seek moving costs and even accommodation costs until they find another home.
Be aware that the tenants may not be able to cover repair costs if they are liable, in which case you may need to have appropriate insurance cover which can be expensive. You will most likely also incur costs for making repairs.
Low levels of contamination can be harmful to infants, children and adults who are susceptible. Attempts to remove contamination may involve extensive reconstruction, particularly if the home has been used for manufacture.
It is recommended investigating the issues that may affect renting or selling, as well as the levels and percentages of contamination.
