Below is a link to a story about a couple in Pennsylvania who bought a home that had previously been a meth lab. Unfortunately, the presence of the drug-related chemicals sickened them and they were forced to move out. And the bill to clean up the house? $61,000. There are no laws in Pennsylvania or Florida that require disclosing whether a home has been found by the government to have been a drug house.
Before you buy a house, you should consider having it tested for methamphetamines. You should also check to see if the home is registered on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's National Clandestine Laboratory Registry. http://www.justice.gov/dea/seizures/index.html
