New regulations for methamphetamine contamination in rental properties

Kāinga Ora has updated how we manage situations where methamphetamine (meth) contamination is found in our homes to align with new Government regulations.

We already decontaminate homes until testing confirms methamphetamine levels are 15 micrograms per 100cm² or below, which meets safety standards. Under the updated regulations, only the affected rooms or areas need to be decontaminated if levels exceed the standard, rather than an entire house. This targeted approach allows homes to be made safe more quickly, and helps return properties to people in urgent need of housing sooner.

When appropriate, we may now establish a baseline meth test for a property. This helps provide certainty about contamination levels over time and ensures fairness for both tenants and Kāinga Ora.

As a firm but fair landlord, Kāinga Ora will continue to treat methamphetamine use as a health and wellbeing issue and work with tenants to connect them with appropriate support services. However, there will be consequences for instances of repeated meth contamination of a tenancy and in serious cases, a tenant will not be rehoused in another Kāinga Ora home. Any evidence of manufacture or supply will be referred to Police.
