Obviously the intended/proper use isn't to interfere with other people's
legit networks. The intended use is to prevent rogue networks within your
own area where you want to maintain network security.

So in the case you mention, the proper configuration is to whitelist the
other tenants' networks/APs and *not* interfere with their network. A legit
use might be to disassociate clients from a rogue AP that is on the channel
you're using, which is also using your SSID and is an obvious attempt to
lure people to use the rogue network probably for nefarious reasons.

Does this not make sense to you or are you trolling?
