Who pays for the cleanup if I discover my tenants are making meth?

If a rental unit becomes contaminated due to cooking of mehtamphetamine, it is the land owners responsibility to pay for all clean up costs. No government agency will clean up a meth lab on private property, and most insurance policies don't cover cleanup of illegal toxic waste. State law requires a property owner to hire a state-certified cleanup contractor to decontaminate properties in which meth has been cooked. The cost to a landlord to clean up a rental unit can typically run between $2,500 and $4,000, but can run as much as $10,000. Plus the cost of any remodeling after a unit is decontaminated.
