Crystal Meth

Meth Labs on Rental Property
Meth labs pose serious problems for rental property owners. Among these are a loss of rent, a decline in property values, damage of property, civil penalties, dangerous and threatening tenants, resentful and angry neighbors, and the potential loss of other valued tenants.

Preventing Meth Labs
At the time of rental application, be sure to:
  • Accept only an application that is filled out completely
  • Conduct background checks, including rental history, credit report, employment history, and criminal background.
  • Meet every adult and require picture identification
  • Be aware of odd, suspicious behavior

Visit the property often and make staff aware of meth lab indicators:
  • Blackened windows, drawn curtains
  • Frequent visitors at all hours
  • Paranoid, odd behavior
  • Extensive security
  • Chemical odors
  • Orange Igloo coolers

Watch for excessive garbage specific to meth lab manufacturing, including:
  • Over-the-counter cold medications
  • Packaging from “pep” pills
  • Rock salt
  • Brake fluid & fuel injector cleaner
  • Propane gas tanks w/corroded nozzles
  • Lithium battery strips
  • Pool or battery acid
  • Respiratory masks, gloves
  • Mason or Ball jars
  • Coffee filters
  • Lighter fluid
  • Dirty, brown baby diapers—without kids around

If you suspect you have a clandestine lab, do not approach it. Many laboratories have traps set up and chemical processes that should not be disturbed.
