Meth lab homes in Ohio may be changing
May 29, 2008 by Meth Lab Homes
Councilwoman Christine Croce has introduced legislation that seeks to provide some protection to home buyers. She wants anyone who owns a home or rental property that was once used as a meth lab to record that information on a city form, a form that would be given to a new buyer. If her legislation gets passed, selling a meth lab home without disclosing that information to a buyer would be considered a first-degree misdemeanor. The crime would be punishable by a maximum of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

HI I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNEW THE LAWS OF A LANDLORD NOT DISCLOSING THAT THE PROPERTY WE HAVE BEEN LEASING HAD A METH LAB IN BASEMENT BY PREVIOUS TENANTS. WE LIVE IN OHIO AND JUST NEEDED TO KNOW THE LAWS BECAUSE THE LANDLORD NEVER TOLD US THIS I FOUND OUT FROM OUR NEIGHBORS AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR IF THESES CHEMICALS COULD BE STILL IN WALLS ETC… I AM VERY WORRIED THAT THESE MAY HAVE EFFECTS ON FAMILY. AND IT MAY HAVE NOT BE CLEANED PROPERLY SINCE WE MOVED IN RIGHT AFTER OTHERS LEFT!! AND SHE NEVER TOLD US OF ANY ACTIVITY IN THE HOUSE.
THANKS!!
