Charging Rent to Tenants

[Penthea]

I'm pretty sure that you can as long as it's all done with in-game currency and/or items, plenty of people sell their houses, crafts, and clears

Selling houses is actually against the terms of use and is a bannable offence.

OP if I were you I'd just make a GM ticket asking this question. Best to get it from SE itself, just in case.
