Renting out

Post by Animexlife » January 21st, 2019, 10:18 am

I bought a lot through the phone, used my family's funds to build a small house, kitchen bathroom, beds, tv...you know the works but modest. Someone FINALLY rented it, but I don't see anything like money I'm getting from it. When should I receive the money, and do I get notified? It is a rentable lot.

I assume you have SP Money's Unified Billing in play? If so, the rent payment transfer is automatic and easy to miss if you happen to be in Map View or not paying strict attention at the time it happens. I think it's at midnight, once or twice per week, or rather on the same schedule as when bills are due/paid. It can but doesn't always take a sim week or so for the payment schedule to catch up with things. How long have the renters been living there?

Not sure exactly what happens if the renters have no funds, but I believe you will get the transfer anyway and they will go into debt. That's what happens under SP Money when inactive households cannot otherwise afford their regular bills either.

To see if you've actually received any such funds already, you could do a household Accounting Report on your actives and/or the renters and look for the appropriate line in credits or debits. NRaas > SP > Household Options > Accounting Report. If the report has too much stale information in it to be useful going forward, there is a command on the same level to clear it out.

If you are feeling ripped off as a landlord, you could use MC to arrange a one-time or ongoing money transfer between the two households until the SP rent payments kick in on a regular schedule.

It's on by default, so if you didn't change it you probably already have it.
NRaas > SP > General Options > Options: Money > Unified Billing > True

This is what subjects inactive households to property tax payments, without that they pay nothing so I'm not sure if they would also be obligated to pay rent if they are not homeowners -- probably not.

Okay thank you very much, when I log on later I'll check to see if I received payment without noticing, thank you. You're always so helpful, lol.
