This apartment was placed into my boyfriend's dad's trust, which is managed by other members of the family. His dad has a rich history of neglecting bills. I manage and pay for all the bills, including property taxes, directly to the companies.
His dad and his dad's girlfriend regularly use meth in the apartment. His girlfriend likes to smoke it in the bathroom right next to my room. There also used to be a bunch of homeless people living in our living room for years, but it's only once in a while now. Still, the living room is blocked off from us with a makeshift multi-curtain wall. Neighbors are noticing the suspicious people.
My questions:
1. What is the best way to test for meth residue? I'm not sure which home tests are best. Or is there a company that provides this service?
2. Can I test positive from second-hand smoke and residue?
3. My boyfriend and I don't do meth AT ALL. Totally hate it. Can we get in trouble for living with meth heads?
4. Can the state seize this apartment from his dad? I don't think he is selling or making drugs, but I don't know.
5. The rest of the family wants the apartment to be in my boyfriend's name already, but we're afraid of making his dad angry. Can the state seize the apartment from my boyfriend because of his dad's drug use? Our intention isn't to cover up his drug use, but it's a sensitive issue and we're not sure how to deal with it.
6. Should I report it to the building manager and/or police? We haven't taken any action because we don't want to get kicked out as well.
Yes, I'm planning on moving out when I can, but I'm basically just wondering if there is any way to keep the apartment from being lost due to his dad's lifestyle. The rest of the family keeps reminding us to be strong and protect what they had set up for him and his dad because it's meant for my boyfriend to inherit it. Sounded cool in the beginning, but idk now
