Landlord denied compo because meth use not covered by entry condition form
Full story
A tribunal denied a landlord's request for compensation regarding the use of meth in a rental property. While the tribunal accepted that the drug was used during the tenancy, it found a lack of evidence. Specifically, the landlord could not prove the house was not already contaminated before the tenant moved in. This failure was linked to the entry condition form.
