Landlords demand compensation after meth cleaning costs

Private landlords are calling for some form of compensation after forking out big money on meth tests at their properties. Hundreds of state housing tenants will be compensated for being wrongly evicted from their homes on the basis of a flawed meth testing regime. A Housing New Zealand report - published yesterday - acknowledges the agency misused health guidelines that led to an estimated 2-and-half thousand people being kicked out of roughly 800 state homes. But many private landlords were also caught out. Eva Corlett reports.
