Rental contaminated, not damaged by meth
An Auckland property management company managed to succeed in only part of its claim against a pair of tenants they said smoked meth throughout the rental property they were living in, contaminating it in the process.
James Pilcher and Elizabeth Foster rented the Royal Oak house from May 2018 until August 2019.
Prior to the start of their tenancy, the landlord had the property meth tested and the results were clear. At the end of the tenancy, the landlord again tested the property and this time there was evidence of meth use throughout.
However, the detailed test showed that almost all the areas tested were below and, in some cases well below, 15µg /100cm². The exception was the hallway where the tested samples were 23µg /100cm² and 16.7µg /100cm².
