Renting is the cheapest way to get your hands on a home or business - but you have to keep paying the rent each month, if you ever stop paying, you lose your property. The advantage is, that if you want to move to a bigger and better property, it's easy to do so. Better still, the rent is covered by your 'Cost of Living' payments. The amount of rent charged will depend on the size of the property, the size of the settlement, and the area that you rent in. Larger properties cost more, cities are more expensive than towns and some districts are in more demand than others.

You can rent land, a building, or just one room within a building.

• When you are starting a business - you earn less from the business, BUT you don't have the same sort of up front costs.
• Housing: Housing costs are the same for 'owned' and rented property (see Cost of Living) However, some types of property are never up for rent.
• Status: Renting is the lowest status, you might want to move away from it, as you progress in levels.

Base rent will be calculated by counting the number of 5' squares in the property (over all floors) and multiplying that by the rate shown on the following table. However, rents will vary slightly. If a property is in demand, or desirable for some other reason, it will be more expensive - if it is in poor repair, it might be cheaper.
