Questions about landlords

I think that is an excellent idea Inge! More realism :D

Inge:
Well... if furniture is not included in rent, then something else is wrong, since my playable sim is paying $160 and my nonplayable tenants are paying only $20 for the same sized rooms.  I am going to have to implement the original idea which is that the owner sets a rent himself and the calculated rent is ignored.  Either that or I will have to advise my land owners not to waste money furnishing the place as they will never get their investment back.

That would be fantastic, actually. Dumb game won't let you get crappy high-priced slumlord apartments.

I think I will make it that the person becoming the owner actually has to pay the value of the lot.  It seems more realistic that way.  Anyone think this is not a good idea?


I can think of one exception, that the landlord does not have all the money for the building but can take out a loan (read: mortgage). I'm thinking of Monique's auto payment to repay the loan.

Talking about the furnishing, is there a way to rent a furnished apartment. The current business model is so limiting. Autonomous calculation that includes all the furnitures would be so nice.

I can't wait for this mod! It will work great for a period neighborhood. I also like that the landlord can live on the lot. I have this vision of old houses split into apartments with some doddering old lady in the downstairs apartment as the landlady.

I actually prefer that the landlord has to buy the lot. Its more realistic. Also, is there someway the landlord can be charged a maintenance fee or something for maintaining the building? Of course, I could always do that through other hacks. :)

Thank!
