<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would question the duty to actively look for problems. Another course of action may be to advise them to disclose exactly what they know, which is that previous tenants were arrested for possession of meth
(and state nothing regarding manufacturing) . Once the disclosure has been made, isn’t it then buyer’s duty to research the importance of that this disclosure?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have become aware of a rental property which has served as a drug house. Recently, 6 people were arrested there, 5 of whom were in possession of meth. The house was damaged during its time as a drug house. The owner would like to sell.
They tell me that no manufacturing of meth occurred on the property. They believe this because no one has told them otherwise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That isn’t good enough for me. I think it prudent to get the property tested and then take appropriate action based on that report.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Who would you recommend for such work?<o:p></o:p></p>
