Tenants add wall to make it a 4 bdr

I have a rental near a college town. I just found out that my tenants decided to build a wall and put in another door in order to accommodate another person. Looking at the wall and the door it looks professionally done and adheres to my standards. In a way this helps me because now I have a 4 bdr house instead of a 3 bdr but my question is to go after the tenants that built the wall since it was built against my knowledge?

It was likely built without permits. Thats a big problem. That needs to be addressed. Did they build a closet? I guess for now you are ok but going forward you could have problems especially if you sell or if the city wants to do an inspection and discovers an illegal bedroom.
