Re: Tenant performed an at home drug test on property

So what are you complaining about? You said she was a pain-in-the-a**, and you were willing to let her out of her lease early. She declined at the time. Now, because she found a new "problem" with your place, she wants out. You should immediately say : " YES, we will let you out of your lease. How soon can you be out?"
Sign a new paper with her that says the rest of the lease is cancelled by both parties, and she will never owe you any rent again. It goes into effect the day she is totally moved out, and has returned the keys to you. Don't worry about how clean she will leave the place, or what "stuff" she leaves you. Just get her OUT!
The returning of the keys-in person if possible-is critical, as it signifies to all landlords that the tenant has given you possession back. If she leaves it dirty, with some damages, and some stuff left, at least you have possession and control back, and NO "pain-in-the-a**" to deal with.
Now you can get it ready for the next tenant. The only "drug" tests I know of, are for Radon, and Lead. The Radon test you can do yourself, but for lead, you would need your county health dept to do it. On the lead side, I would not have it tested, but just make sure all surfaces,both inside and outside, are scraped and painted before moving a new tenant in. There are way to test for "Meth" but the county would have to do the, also. As long as your state, county, or city laws don't require testing, don't do any.

garry's not being rude or condescending,....it's just his manner. which you would realize if you were a regular here.
garry as well as a couple of other regulars on this site have tremendous, good knowledge, instincts and street experiences which we take the time and effort to share with others,....pro bono.
the information opinions and recommendations of those at the top of this pile,... are generally pretty close to excellent advice,...to be tempered by what jurisdiction you are specifically in.
Many of the attendees on this site are new to the business, which is fine.
many,.... should not be in the real estate business at all.
