Alex Cleaning Solutions Also Test For Methamphetamine

According to a study published by Massey University in May 2018, imported Crystal Methamphetamine, witnessed a sharp rise in its use in New Zealand. In her self-led 2018 Meth webinar, Australian public health researcher Dr. Jackie Wright recommended that rental properties be tested between tenants. In this way tenants will realize that if the property tests positive at a later date (post moving-in), they could be found responsible for the damages.

It is important that both landlords and tenants are aware that the optional Meth testing clause can be added to the tenancy agreement, and it is vital that everybody understands some serious health risks can be associated with even small meth presence, as low as 2-20 ug/100cm2.

 

Following the publication of the standard, NZ Health Adviser Sir Peter Gluckman issued a report (‘Methamphetamine contamination in residential properties…”) which was published in May 2018 and sponsored by the NZ Government for social housing purposes. The report recommended a higher limit of 15 ug/100cm2, ten times greater than the standard of 1.5 ug/100cm2. As result of the publication, Housing NZ  changed its policy, requiring levels less than 15ug/100cm2 for a property to be deemed safe. This undermines the standard and threatens to deregulate testing and decontamination work being carried out.

 

Alex Cleaning Solutions provide professional meth testing and sampling by experts following NZS 8510:2017 and testing before and after tenancy, which can protect both sides, tenants and landlords. Tenants know they have come to a clean property, and landlords and property managers knowing they are protected against claims and lengthy tribunal cases from the tenants that they have let into contaminated ‘P’ rentals.

 

Similarly, for anyone purchasing a new house, unfortunately some sellers

 

even repaint to hide meth contamination. Unfortunately, most purchasers fail to check for the presence of Methamphetamine prior to going unconditional. This can lead to a huge amount of stress, confusion and cost involved with decontamination.
