I’m a personal injury attorney from Utah. To determine whether your house is a former meth house, you will want to check with your state Department of Housing to see what type of requirements there are for sellers to disclose this.
In my opinion, selling a house without disclosing that it is a former meth house is extremely deceptive. It really amounts to fraud.
They hold back this critical information to make more money. I think there should be federal law mandating disclosure in all 50 states.

agreed….so how do we make this happen?
If your state doesn’t require that renters and buyers be informed that a home was previously used to make meth, contact your legislators. Ask them why there are no disclosure laws in your state, which would help protect innocent people, especially young children, from the serious health problems that can result from living in a contaminated home.
I don’t think that not disclosing meth is fraud.. and obviously neither do the majority of states.
The real issue is “how much is there?” there are minor traces of meth in many household items including Vic’s that will test positive.
What amount is dangerous and where do we have to disclose from that point forward?
ALso, if it has been remediated then why would you stigmatize a property?
