Not sure if this is just a revenue grab, or a punitive measure for those who attempt to do a liability end run. 

It will explain in much more detail.From my reading and speaking with an attorney (I’m not one, so this is not legal advice), you are allowed to raise rents 5% + inflation (which is measured by the CPI for last year ~1.6% I believe), so this year you could raise rents a maximum of 5.6% if my numbers are accurate.You may evict a paying tenant only under certain qualifying circumstances.

It's important to start with identifying all possible returns that can be generated in real estate some of which can be subtle and easy to miss.The four sources of return in rental real estate:1- Cash flow2- Loan paydown3- Appreciation in value4- Tax savingsBelow are some metrics that are normally used and thrown around here on Biggerpockets, and what type of returns/performance they are designed to measure:- CoC (Cash on Cash) is a measure of net return generated by TWO sources (i.e.

I also have to disagree on your measuring stick for crime.

They can bring in a laser measuring tool to see if it's a settling/foundation issue.  

Their CPPI is value-weighted, it measures what’s happening to real estate prices in aggregate, similar to the Wilshire 5000 that measures what’s happening to the stock market in aggregate.But what about that suburban strip mall?

If you're measuring every deal with a year 1 cash flow stick, then you won't be a buyer here.

I assume they are referring to the recently adopted measuring standards (ANSI), but again, that doesn't dictate what habitable or finished area is.
