Nice story and informative. One thing though, you said "We forced the landlord electrician to properly [isolate] the ground." Also that "the electrician had 'cut corners' ......and simply tied dedicated ground to common ground back at one subpanel."
You need to be careful about the use of the word "isolate" as there are those who continue to believe this means you stick a separate rod in the earth and attach your ground to it. What you should have said is that the electrician was forced to "re-terminate" the dedicated ground at the correct point (which I am assuming was at the main panel, not the subpanel) as you did not give details.
