It's more like upkeep costs rather than "rent" :)Quote:

In any case, having to pay upkeep cost will be useful in order to remove houses of players who are inactive and free some spaces in the housing area. Even if SE will create new areas every time one is full, it will completely sucks after couple of years, when half of the houses will belong to players who left the game. (Could force house despawn if players are inactive for X months as well, but I love the idea of paying upkeep more.)
