Meth Testing NZ are offering top tips for smarter, more efficient testing decisions in the hopes they’ll save you time and money, and they have divided their tips into sections, depending on whether you own, manage or sell property. These tips are applicable to all areas of the property industry so they encourage property managers and real estate agents to share them with their clients.

These are their top tips for for home-owners and landlords (current and prospective), starting with the caution not to turn a blind eye to owner-occupied homes. Meth use is not limited to just rental properties and Meth Testing NZ are seeing a significant increase in requests for testing owner-occupied homes. Remember, owner-occupied homes can be, and are still frequented by uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters, children, extended family, boyfriends, girlfriends – all of whom could contaminate the property, not just the owners.

You should also be aware a tenant is within their rights to get the house meth tested without your consent. Many landlords choose not to have their investment properties sampled however, Meth Testing NZ are seeing an increase in the number of tenants booking tests in the days after they’ve moved in. If these tests find the property to be contaminated, this can lead to Tenancy Tribunal claims from the tenant.

If you are  unsure, you should test before you go unconditional, as Meth Testing NZ have seen several situations where, for whatever reason, clients have tested for methamphetamine after a sale has gone unconditional, but prior to settlement, which causes huge issues with the purchase of a property. To avoid the drama you should book a test before you go unconditional, and if you’re unsure about what testing option best suits you, get in touch with Meth Testing NZ for a free phone consultation.
