Meth Contamination in Rental Units

Properties previously used for methamphetamine production or use can be dangerous even after cleanup. We fight for renters who were never warned or protected.

Landlord Negligence in Remediation

If your landlord ignored complaints, delayed action, or concealed the issue, they may be liable for your injuries and relocation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for tenants harmed by toxic mold or meth contamination in Washington rental housing.

  • What are the health effects of toxic mold or meth exposure?

    Exposure to mold or chemical contamination can cause respiratory issues, chronic fatigue, memory problems, skin irritation, and more. Children, seniors, and people with existing health conditions are especially at risk. If you're showing symptoms, document them and get medical attention immediately.

    Start the Conversation
  • Can I sue my landlord for mold or contamination?

    Yes. If your landlord knew—or should have known—about the hazard and failed to act, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. You may also have a claim if they violated housing safety codes, failed to disclose prior contamination, or neglected repairs that led to exposure.

  • How do I prove that my housing made me sick?

    We gather evidence through a combination of medical records, environmental inspections, expert testimony, and tenant complaints. Our legal team connects the dots between your health problems and your living environment to build a strong case.

    Talk to Your Advocate
  • Do I need to move out to file a claim?

    Not always—but your health comes first. If relocation becomes necessary, we can help you pursue compensation for moving expenses, hotel stays, and temporary housing so you’re not left paying the price for someone else’s negligence.

  • How long do I have to act?

    In Washington State, you typically have three years from the time you discovered the problem to file a claim. However, the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to gather strong evidence—especially when dealing with rental property records and inspection reports.
