New Methamphetamine Regulations – April 2026
The Residential Tenancies (Managing Methamphetamine Contamination) Regulations 2026 came into effect from 16 April 2026, providing clear direction on how methamphetamine contamination in rental properties must be managed.
These regulations introduce a structured framework covering:
- Acceptable and uninhabitable levels of meth contamination
- When decontamination of a property is required
- Circumstances where a tenancy may be ended due to contamination
- Approved processes for testing and decontamination
- Landlord responsibilities when managing affected properties
- How to handle goods left behind in contaminated homes
These changes aim to provide greater clarity and consistency for both landlords and tenants when dealing with contamination issues.
