MD Services - Pre Occupancy Testing

This testing is designed to be carried out prior to a tenant moving into a property and will provide a base line for any future property inspection testing. It is highly recommended that the property is cleaned prior to the testing being carried out.

As part of this particular service NZDDA will advise on any additional clauses that should be made to the tenancy agreement. This will fulfill any legal requirements on the Landlord or Property Manager to fully inform the new tenant that the property will be subject to surface testing for illegal drugs as part of any future property inspection.

During the pre-occupancy testing NZDDA staff will identify areas to be tested in the most appropriate rooms and areas in the property or in the rooms or areas selected by the client. As stated the testing is to establish a baseline or provide proof that there is no detectable level of methamphetamine present in the property prior to the new tenant moving in so if in the future the property is inspected and methamphetamine residue is discovered it can be attributed to that tenant and not any previous tenants making the tenancy tribunal process simpler

If there is methamphetamine detected during the pre occupancy testing then it is recommended that further testing be done to establish the level of that contamination.

At the completion of the testing the landlord or property manager will be advised of the results immediately and will receive a report outlining the following: Areas tested, results, photographs and any recommendations with respect to having the property cleaned or the likely cause of the contamination.
