What is the name of your state? Colorado
My mother moved into an apartment several months ago. Through neighbors we recently discovered that there was a meth lab operating in the apartment, which was busted 2-3 years ago. The landlord never mentioned anything. This came to light only after my mother had been living there for several months and made friends with the neighbors. I have three main concerns.
1. From the little research I've done, I believe it is illegal for a landlord to not inform a new tenant that the unit has housed a meth lab. True?
2. I believe I read somewhere that a landlord is to keep detailed records of the measures taken to clean up the apartment for a certain number of years after the bust. True?
3. My mom has been getting sick lately. Dry heaves, headaches, etc. This may be because there was never adequate clean up, which would also explain why the landlord is so shady.
So the obvious question is what on earth do we do now? I feel pretty helpless, as my mom can't really fend for herself, has very little money (she's disabled and on social security) and I'm only 17. Can the police do anything or is this going to require civil action?
