Managed to cut call short then phd Spark. They do not ph people if their computers are slow due to internet problems. The calls from Spark technicians are not the actual Spark technicians so be very aware that these people are scammers. Spread the word.

This role can be done from home and we will provide a mobile phone to take calls on.

Waikato District Police

Do you have a rental property or manage rentals? This one is for you!
Methamphetamine - or "P" - is becoming more common everyday. We come across it more regularly and it is now a big problem for those in the residential property market.
Meth is a harmful, chemical based stimulant. Generally people smoke it through little glass pipes. When smoked or manufactured indoors, the harmful chemicals leech into the walls and materials. These chemicals then make their way from the walls into the bodies of the people inside - not nice stuff! This can cause adverse cardiovascular, respiratory and dermal effects.
So what do we recommend? Treat it the same as you would with any other aspect of property management. Do a meth test before tenants move in. Do regular meth tests when completing house inspections (you need to allow for this in your contract) and complete meth tests when they leave.
If you can prove your tenants have been consuming or manufacturing P in your house, you have grounds to have them evicted and if needed, evidence to support a civil claim to the tenancy tribunal for damages.
Have a bit of a look on the internet for different suggestions about how to word your tenancy contracts and what to do if you do detect meth in your rental.
If you have any information in regards to the use, sale or manufacture of methamphetamine, please let us know. The best way to do it is to call CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111 - that way your information can be kept confidential.
Help us rid our country of this nasty drug. Share this with anyone you know who has a rental or is in property management!
