I am not advocating turning residential properties into grow houses but the rest of this is pure BS.  If I own a house I can punch holes in the walls for whatever reasons I choose - like for a multi-room train setup.  Any damage should be found by an inspector when the house is sold.  Illegal activities are one thing but damage to a property is not illegal if I own it.  Owners of rental properties need to carefully vet their renters and make spot inspections (permitted by law) if they suspect illegal activity.  Our current laws cover every single item in this article - if you choose to buy a property without a real inspection that is your problem, not mine.
