The episode discusses new meth contamination standards and their implications for landlords.
New meth rules are coming into force… and they could save (or cost) landlords thousands. In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down the new meth contamination standards – what’s changed, why the old system caused so much confusion, and what you actually need to do if your property is affected. You’ll learn: The new legal thresholds – and the one number landlords now need to know Why did some investors pay for decontamination they didn’t actually need How to clean up meth contamination yourself – and what it really costs The key takeaway? The rules are finally clearer, but that doesn’t mean the risk is gone. Knowing the thresholds, testing properly, and understanding your options could be the difference between a small clean-up… and a $30,000+ bill.
