Tennant at only 2 houses?

I'm hoping they lift that restriction, or at least increase it, especially with all the recent changes to housing.

I'm not SE, but I doubt they will. Tenants were added in 3.1 (September 2015) so it's been this way for a long time. In SE's eye (and if I'm honest my own as well) any more people sharing a house really should be a Free Company. I do appreciate you have a different viewpoint though.

FC housing is also setup better for multiple people as if the leader is offline for 35 days the leader position passes to someone else. Private housing has no such thing and likewise only the owner can reset the demolition timer. If they added (for example) 10 people to a personal house and the owner didn't login for 2 months, everyone just lost the house.

With an FC house someone else would have been made owner and the house would remain (assuming not everyone was inactive!)
