There is no doubt for me. I would definitely disclosure. If you know about it and you don't disclosure, neighbors will enlighten new homeowners, and you might think of consequences. I disclosure everything that ''might affect the material value of the property''. 

YES!!!!!

LOOOOONG before my real estate career I took a course on recognizing clandestine drug labs.  Meth labs were covered and the key take away that I will educate you on is that there are extremely toxic chemicals that are an airborne byproduct of the production process (and they also carry the red dye of the sudafed in the air).  Not only can you die within seconds of entering one of these facilities unprotected, but the TOXIC chemical seep into the walls, through the walls and into the studs and frame of the house.  The ONLY way to completely remediate this is to tear the house down and rebuild it from scratch... including the slab and foundation (in some cases).

I've seen picture where the wood inside the walls was cherry red from the airborne dye.

Would the buyer want to know?  Would the buyer be told by neighbors?  Would this stigmatize the home?  If you have to ask disclose.

Regardless of the law, it needs to be disclosed.

Don't kid yourself that remediation cures all the residual problems with living in a former meth house...it dosen't.  

As an Exclusive Buyers Agent  I would never recommend that my client buy one.

Eve

It should be disclosed, whether or not rquired by state law Doesn't matter that remediation took place

I think it should be disclosed whether it's required or not.... anything that would make a potential buyer change his/her mind about buying the property is disclosed by those who were on my team....in 38 years, I've never been sued, and I'm sure as hell not starting now....

Wanda,

As a CA licensee, we would disclose it.  Someone may tell them about it, and in our state you better disclose regardless of the changes...A

that is state law dependent

We are in TN.

If the agent is aware of it...definitely!

At least in Minnesota it is required not only to disclose the meht part but also who did the cleanup and if it was cleared by authorities

I would disclose the fact. If the Buyer found out after inspections etc. it could get complicated if the buyer decided to back out.  Even if you win any dispute you still lose. Besides you never go wrong by doing the right thing. A buyer with small kids...how could you not let them know?

Disclose, disclose, disclose.  Many meth properties in this areahave been demolished rather than remediate .

You have a moral duty to disclose it no matter the laws. How can we know that remediation really got rid of any after effects on the health of a child who might live there crawling on the floor?

Wanda,
Since most state law and virtually every jury favors the buyer, even if you weren’t required to disclose it I would. If you think disclosing it would impact the value or desirability of the property, the jury will think that times 10.

Hi Wanda,  In the State of Georgia you are require by law to disclose if a home was a meth house.

That depends on the state law, Wanda. But I would surely disclose in any event.

When sellers mention anything to me and ask if it should be disclosed I point out to the sellers disclosure and advice them to ask their attorney if they have doubts on how to fill it out. 

Good morning Wanda. I would disclose it, no matter what the laws are.

 I think that it needs to be disclosed because of all of the toxic chemicals that are produced in making meth

In Ontario, disclosure is required.

Absolutely, I would disclose it. PS. I would not take that listing.

that's not a listing I would take

Yes, yes, yes ,yes, yes! Morally and legally you are required to disclose it. You can bet the selling agent in the next sale will find it and you will be in for a law suit if you don't disclose it.

It may not be required by law, but I would say to disclose.

I think it would be prudent to disclose it if it isn't required by your state.

Disclose

not in florida

In Virginia, you are required to disclose it.

Our listing forms must disclose the home's use as former meth lab.  States it right on disclosure.

Not in Virginia, but it's still could be in everyone's best interest to disclose it.

Yes. definitely. You want buyers to know about it, plus you can be pretty sure the neighbors will tell all.

I would because even though the HAZmat people have cleaned up, customers could still drop by. It happened to my client once.

I would say yes because of the drug issue.

We are to disclose what we know regardless.  If I know it, I disclose it. Why risk the consequences.

You need to check your local and state laws on this.

In Texas it is a part of the sellers disclosure.

In California, the agent yes and the seller too.

Is the Seller required to disclose it?  What does the law require?

I would think you would have to disclose it.

Here, absolutely.

Sure glad that I have not run into this one so far, but if I do then I will disclose.

Wanda - Based on the information in the answers below, I don't think I would want this listing.
