Does a renter have to inform the rentee that there was a meth lab found in the garage of the home?
Minnesota laws

morally yes, Minnesota law,no but if a land lord wouldn't tell you that right off the bat don't rent from him,he doesn't have your safety in mind.If you are the land lord,you should tell your renters.

No. Since it is rental property, the owner of the property does not have that obligation unless they are selling the property to a new owner.

There is no obligation to notify a potential tenant.

However, the landlord won't be able to rent the property without cleaning it up. And, if it is cleaned up, it won't matter what was in the garage because of the new cleanup rules.

Because of a new Minnesota state law, the land owner has an obligation to clean the site up according to a special set of Department of Health guidelines.

If the landlord can't pay, the municipality can clean it up at their expense and get reimbursed from a special new state fund for that very purpose.

You did not say if the garage was attached or detached. That may make a difference.

This is also a legal question, therefore you need a legal opinion, not a public opinion. Contact an attorney and the state agency that governs real estate licensing in your state where ever this great question may apply.

There are laws of disclosure regarding real estate that is negatively impacted regarding use or value when you go to sell. A meth lab could stigmatize a property. There may or may not be a disclosure law in your state, however ignorance of the law will not work in a court of law.

Since meth is now considered a "toxic waste", once a property is declared such it must be cleaned up per EPA regulations. Sometimes that means a demolition, sometimes it can be salvaged with new drywall, flooring, or whatever an EPA approved inspector may require.

Treat meth as the serious problem it is.

One more thing: A "Lessee" or "Tenant" pays rent to a "Lessor" or "Landlords", both legal terms used extensively in real estate. I do commercial leases and have never seen the terms "rentor" nor "rentee" used. That is not to say your terms are incorrect, just not commonly used and possibly confusing.


knowitall
Not according to the law, But it wwould be the moral and ethical thing to do. I would, because Meth Labs can cause effects such as cancer and birth defects and if you dont tell the people who are renting the house, you could get thhe balls sued offf of you if you never told them. But if you did tell them, they cant sue you.


Seneca
Whereas I'm not completely sure about Minnesota in particular, in most states, as far as I know, no. The property must be cleaned up, however, as with any activity even just regular activity.

This is the same as with any other criminal activity. Unless and until the U.S. Federal lawmakers pass a law stating that "drugs" and "drug-related activities" are medical problems, they will continue being criminal.

However, in residential properties existing on or before 1978 [I believe] there must be a disclosure stating that surfaces may contain lead paint. This is the law.

By the way, it does NOT lawfully need to be disclosed that there is/was a possibility of "poltegist activities" on any property and the names and locations of convicted child molesters in the prospective neighbor can NOT be disclosed. Instead, it is up to prospective homebuyer or renter to check with the local law enforcement for the locations [addresses] of convicted child molesters in the prospective neighborhood. Names are still NOT disclosed.

PS: A "renter" is the one who rents and a "rentee" is the landlord. Same goes for the "mortgager", who is the one who must pay the mortgage and the "mortgagee" is the originator of the mortgage, e.g., the bank.

you should let the landlord and the police know about it right away....if you do not they might blame you and then you will be in trouble and have legal problems..............

Yes of course you do. Some people could have serious side effects from the meth chemicals left in the garage. Best to be honest and get a tenant who wants to stay.

I don't know for sure, but I do know that rentors do not have to disclose other things after the fact, for example, they do not have to inform rentees that a murder took place in the home. I would hope that the owner would do the ethical thing and let prospective renters know.
