Matt Ball: Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager on the new meth contamination laws - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Property investors are celebrating new methamphetamine contamination laws coming in next year.  

Properties with meth residue exceeding 15 micrograms per 100-square centimetres will be considered contaminated, requiring treatment. 

Landlords and tenants will be able to quickly end tenancies with excessive levels. 

Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge the new standards will reduce costs for some landlords. 

He says the threshold for decontamination, which can cost a considerable amount, were conflicting under the previous guidelines, resulting in some spending money that they shouldn’t have needed to.
