We should be able to rent out our houses

[MPK]

If your not using it but want other people to be able to use it by renting it out.. why not just drop that plot and let someone else who would actually use it have it?
Renting it isn't a solution to the problem. Hogging to plots and not even using it when there are people who would actually make use of it is part of the problem.

Can't you already do this? Just make someone a tenant, agree on a regular fee, and evict them if they don't pay it in time.

Though I agree with Evergrey; if you're not using it, just let someone else have it.

Are we really getting to the point where we're seizing other people's property? What is this, Soviet union?

Is it? No one can even see you own a house.

I've never seen anyone go "WOW, You own a HOUSE?!

At least this means you're paying SE every month, so it's all good.

Apart from that, I'm glad we don't have a rent system, and seeing how SE has taken measurements before to prevent players from abusing the housing system too much, I very much doubt we'll ever get it. Enjoy your status and please keep supporting this game with your money!

i came to this game to escape late stage capitalism and socialism-hate, not to play a game that promotes worker oppression ugh

Though this is a troll account, he has a point. People don't play games to experience "real life simulator". They often play them to escape some of the not so great things about the real world.

So you just want people to envy you. Well you've already got that from just having one house, never mind more than one. You don't need to become a landlord in this game for people to envy you.

And it's that kind of mindset that is a problem.
"Status symbol"? If you actually used the house for something it might've. Now you're just a hoarder who feels the need to have something others don't to feel good about yourself.
