You could go to your local smoke shop and try a bong cleaner solution, I bet that'll cut right through the resins.

Sounds like they had a honey oil operation going, yer lucky they didn't blow the place up. Good luck getting that stuff off what a nightmare.

I lean towards the Kilz for it’s expediency. I first thought getting some OG oil-based would be the way but that might soften the tar. I’d go with two coats of water based. The floors are the real problem. I’d definitely check out those commercial products suggested. Minersl spirits would prolly work but would be a tad hazardous. GOOD LUCK!
ps
Good rental yards rent airless spray guns.
Or just borrow a ST sprayer.

I second TSP. Either that or go to home depot and get industrial degreaser. Industrial degreaser will cut anything. Yeah, you will either need to replace drywall or seal then repaint. One other option is once you get the walls real clean you might be able to skim coat the drywall with mud then put down a good primer then paint.

I agree primer and paint will do on most the walls. I need to get actual globs off around the stove though .
Sad thing with these tenants- they started out great. Super clean and paid rent ontime for two years. As soon as they quit their day-jobs it all went to hell. Place turned into Sanford Sons and they couldn't pay bills any more.
@ batrock- speaking of fire hazard...they also ran un protected interior Romex under the lawn out to the garage. Installed a way over-amped panel that re-routed 75% of the ( antiquated) house electric according to my electrician. I initially tried to reason with the tenants to remove it The pot grow was less than an issue than the overloaded 60-year-old wiring. They refused to remove it, then stopped paying rent and started filing lawsuits against me .
The separate garage will no longer be included with the rental in the future.
@ Locker- yup I got schooled on LAs bias to renters over landlords. Took about 6 months and every dime of savings to get them out.
@ warbler- I considered the vacation/ air-b option but Canoga Park isnt exactly a prime vacation destination. I also live 4 hours from the house so managing a short term rental would be a pain without hiring someone to look after it daily.

Hey Warbler, how do you manage your rental, do you have someone who cleans and preps it? The new electronic locks solve the problem of getting the key to the renter. I am thinking of making my accessory dwelling unit a vacation rental but I am gone a lot and it seems like it would be more hands-on than a long term rental.

I had a long distance rental and finally hired a manager. 10% is not a bad headache remedy. Rents are soaring right now here so you could be doing well soon.
Good luck.
Rubbing alcahol has water added to it. The straight stuff is pretty cheap and the hardware store in the paint dept.
Goof-Off products are really good for removing all kinds of tough stuff.

I own a painting co. in Vegas, and occasionally we have had to deal with this...I'm pretty sure it aint THC. Anyhoo we lightly sand the walls, then prime with a blocker/sealant primer(kilz is ok, there are others) and then repaint.

Uh, I don't know about the OP.
Personally, I don't know a single pothead who is a "neat freak"
Just ask my wife . . .
P.S.
Nature could be the exception . . .

I had a renter go on disability and start a pot farm in the attic of my rental. He disconnected all the ducts on the heat system to make room for the plants and left a huge mess when I finally got him out.
Of course he was all over Facebook playing sports, portraying him self as super dad and taking selfie's doing yoga by candlelight (while his kids were freezing). Namaste you lazy Fuk!
Worse yet, it makes me wonder every time I take a bong hit- am I supporting some sh!thead?

"neither growrooms nor concentrate production produces sticky stubstances which coat vertical surfaces"...
Hmm, good point. Must have been some other kind of drug lab, then.

If it's tar from smoking too much weed, Windex should take it off the walls.

Lacquer thinner can clean anything, all the way down to the Earth's core.
LOL^^ Can it clean up my act? *budump-bumb*

Yeah- who knows or cares at this point? I just need it gone.
@ Chaz- This is way out of Windex league.
UPdate: they are now suing to get their deposit back LOL!!!!!

Actually- they are suing my idiot management company. (yet another subject for a long rant).
I'll probably end up suing them for that same deposit as well... since they retained that deposit for "repairs" ... which I'm doing - not them. I haven't seen a dime of it.
The whole situation is completely f*#ked up from every angle.
