I think personal relocation had been a problem when the lottery was first released as well. I'll try going through some of those old threads to see if I can find some information.

So in short, you cannot have more than 200 items in storage or placed within the house and you cannot have more than 20 placed/stored in the garden.
This is not correct. The limit is the same regardless of plot size as the Storeroom is temporarily increased to 400 items indoor/40 outdoor for any relocation.

It is impossible for someone who owns a small to exceed the 400 item limit since they can only have 200/20 placed and 200/20 in Storeroom prior to a relocation. The only players who should have problems are those owning a medium or large.

DO NOT relinquish. The system should be expecting a relocation.
