Methamphetamine Labs in Rental Housing

Methamphetamine or meth production continues to rise in California. The labs used to manufacture the highly addictive substance create extremely volatile situations and leave behind a wake of highly toxic waste. Despite the fact that a property owner has no knowledge that a property is being used for criminal activity; California law holds property owners and landlords responsible for hazards on the property and the clean-up of those hazards.
