"Installing separate system grounds with copper rods in the yards is something most end users who rent won't ever do"This is illegal and an incredibly dangerous practice. What can happen here is that in a near lightening strike the current/voltage can travel from one earth ground rod to the other through the wiring of the house. This is not something anyone should wish for. I have a had one piece of equipment returned to me when this happened in a customers system, and I bet he's still wondering why his surge suppressors didn't work.
If you are a responsible reviewer, and check with your electrician on this, please do not recommend this practice to anyone in the future. In fact you would do your readership a service by warning them of the hazards of doing this.
Disregard all of the above if you are seriously trying to win the Darwin award.
