Tenant left with damages bill despite not being responsible

The property was uninhabitable at the end of the tenancy and required extensive restoration after decontamination, costing $40,284.25.

Taurean McLean McKenzie and the woman were in a relationship at the start and during most of the tenancy. However, the woman, who has name suppression, left the property after discovering McKenzie was using meth in the home.

He stayed on at the rental after she left. About three months later the woman told Wise Property Management and landlord Yun Fan, McKenzie was using meth at the rental.

That led to Fan undertaking meth testing and termination of the tenancy.
