there is that risk, vicariously. Even worse scenario is if LL 'cleaned' the property which once was a meth lab and then rented it out later on and that person became ill.
Certainly one reason why it is worth having rental properties as an LLC.
CO handles it a bit different; if a property is cleaned to mandated state standards/criteria specific to meth, then its not disclosable. Nuts if you ask me. If it isn't cleaned to and by such state criteria, heaps of trouble can occur for the owner.

... there is a reason the likes of law enforcement use hazmat clothing when dealing with meth properties. Meth is a product afterall, so they can usually test for trace ingredient, waste contamination etc in walls, slabs, foundation etc. I once heard a case where the lab and property was so severe that they had to rip out the entire foundation because 'it' leached into the concrete walls so much. Whether or not that was a telephone game story, I don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it after talking to task force officers' experiences with busting labs. Just as dangerous are what they call 'death bags'.
