The only way this makes sense is as a punitive measure against foreign landlords, where the tenant (as the tax payer) gets some measure of ownership over the property, which doesn't seem to be the case.

That would make sense. This current thing is one of the dumbest, most citizen-hostile laws I have ever seen, and I am saying that stuck in the US.
