For many homeowners who have spare houses, renting their own houses seems like a good option to earn a little money to subsidize their homes! However, landlords should also be careful, it is very rare that the house has been destroyed by tenants, because the devil tenant has ruined the house, and we have also reported several times the news that the landlord has to spend a great deal of money to renovate the house. But today the Chinese landlord is even worse. His house now faces the fate of being forced to demolish because of the devil's tenant.
Recently, a Chinese landlord, Qu, was ordered to demolish a $1 million house by the local government of New Zealand! Because his ex-tenant made meth in his house for a long time during his rental period, the amount of meth in the house was hundreds of times higher than the legal standard.
According to New Zealand's health department, when meth levels in homes exceed 15 micrograms per 100 square centimeters, the agency determines that the house's meth pollution is at a dangerous level.
Mr. Qu's rental property, the kitchen's matrix A test, showed 5993.34 micrograms of drugs per 100 square centimeters, nearly 400 times the statutory limit.
The court said it had no choice but to demolish the 1930s house and convert it into a resettable home because of massive pollution. After the house was demolished, Qu received only $47711 in damages.
The lease adjudicator said the cost of the demolition was $59800, of which the insurance company would pay $300,00 and the tenant $29800.
So how do the police know that these properties are overloaded with drugs?
Authorities say the reasons for suspected drug levels in a property include police reports, tenants admitting to using drugs in the property, and complaints from neighbors. The final decision as to whether a house is to be cleaned or demolished depends on the level of contamination and the associated costs of the house.
That's what happened in Australia before! The reason why we found that the drug residue in the house exceeded the standard is that the tenants who live in the house are constantly sick!

In August, a three-mouth Melbourne family rented a house and soon after his father got a headache, he hired a professional to find out that the meth level in the kitchen was 80 times the normal standard. One of his daughter's bedrooms was one of the most polluted places in the house. The results of the inspection showed that their house was completely unfit to live in!

In September last year, a family of five in Western Australia rented a house with clean interior decoration, a large courtyard and, most importantly, a moderate rent, which can be said to be perfect!
But before long, strange things happened, the family began to appear a variety of strange symptoms, especially three children, all day shouting skin pain, the body here uncomfortable and uncomfortable, slowly, the symptoms intensified, the children began to anorexia. Insomnia, attention is not focused, actually began asthma, inflammation.
Later, after a careful search by professionals, they found that almost every room had residues of meth! And the toxicity is 12 times the common poison!
Experts say people who live in this environment with excessive drug residues for a long time can lead to blindness, respiratory disease, cancer, mental illness, heart disease and, more seriously, death.
Therefore, this kind of house basically cannot rent in the future not to say, also cannot live in oneself.

In April, an old Brisbane couple was told after renting their house that police had raided their house. They returned to the house and found that the water in the pool was green! There are traces of drugs all over the house!
The police raided the house and caused some damage.
Because of the long-term drug abuse in the house, the tenant has been classified as unfit to live because of the large amount of drug residue in the house. It takes as long as two months to clean up the drug residue in the entire house! And very expensive!
The couple had foolishly assumed that entrustment to a broker would at least screen the tenant, check their background, and never expect a drug addict to live in her house.
Unreliable intermediaries are sure to exist, but renting a house on the Internet is actually more likely to be targeted by drug dealers! it may be more dangerous!
"these gangs don't rent homes in specific urban areas or through real estate agents," said experts from the Consumer Protection Department.
"instead, direct contacts with ad-renting landlords on sites such as Gumtree and often give landlords the benefit."
"sometimes, they tell the landlord to pay more rent and pack the electricity bill, and as a result, the landlord loses a lot of money."
"it takes electricity to make the drugs, and they use too much power, causing a landlord to face an electricity bill of A $85,000."

In May, for example, new state police raided a marijuana house in Eastwood, Sydney's Chinese district, and seized nearly A $ six hundred thousand worth of drugs while investigating a gang that specializes in renting marijuana.
They found that some criminals are specialized in drilling Chinese landlords rent not to check, carelessness and other loopholes, waiting for opportunities to carry out illegal activities and so on.
Experts advise landlords to look into the background of tenants who have applied for rent, and that the landlord should check the house a month after the new tenant has moved in. Some applicants will pretend to be families with young children and target landlords from similar cultural backgrounds, he said.
Living, bloody examples remind us that in addition to looking for a reliable intermediary to rent a house, they should also pay more attention to their own house into a "poison house!"
So, how do we, as non-professionals, through our own "meticulous" observation, prevent the house from being "captured" by drug traffickers?
Note the following:
-the house has a strange smell.
-abnormal electricity use
-Chemical containers and wastes
-severely obscured windows
-hoses and pipes in unusual locations
-very bright light from the gap in the middle of the night
-cars will stop at strange times, no matter they are landlords or tenants, be careful. Landlords should prevent poaching tenants, agents, tenants, uh, to check the condition of the house before they check in. If they often feel uncomfortable after check in, We must seek medical treatment in time, and we must not ignore it.
