A New Zealand tenant must pay $50,000 for methamphetamine contamination by her boyfriend.

A New Zealand tenant, Yuriko Unno, was ordered to pay over $50,000 to her landlord after her boyfriend smoked methamphetamine in their apartment. Despite initially receiving compensation, the Tenancy Tribunal ruled Unno was liable for the damage, including decontamination costs. The landlord's insurance covered some costs, leaving Unno to pay the remainder in 250 weekly installments of $200.
