Leasing (Player-to-Player)
How a player who owns a plot can rent it out to another player, set a shop warp, and what happens when a tenant leaves.
Most plots are owned by the server and rented straight to players. Leasing is the other model: a player buys a plot, then lists it for rent to someone else. The buyer becomes the landlord (owner) and whoever rents it is the tenant. This lets players run their own little property business inside your mall.
How a sub-let works
A player buys a plot
They purchase a listed plot, the same way they would rent one. Now they own it outright.
The owner lists it for rent
From the plot menu the owner sets a rent price. The plot goes back on the market, now advertised as theirs.
Another player rents it
A tenant rents the plot and sets up shop. They pay rent to the owner, and the owner pays the server a maintenance fee for running it.
Owner leaving
By default an owner cannot walk away from their own plot while a tenant is still on it. They have to remove the tenant first. This stops a landlord from abandoning a plot out from under a paying tenant.
Change this with leasing.allow-owner-leave-with-tenant (default false).
Removing a tenant
An owner cannot evict their tenant directly. They file an eviction request and an admin decides. The full flow (cooldown, adding reasons, approve or deny) is on the Rent & Eviction page.
Shop warps
A tenant can advertise their shop with a player warp so others
can find it. When the tenant leaves, the warp is cleared by default so it does not point at
an empty plot. Turn that off with leasing.clear-warp-on-tenant-leave if you would rather a
stable warp name carry across tenants.
When a tenant leaves
Key (under leasing:) | Default | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
allow-owner-leave-with-tenant | false | Can an owner leave while a tenant is renting their plot. |
allow-owner-eviction-request | true | Can owners file eviction requests against their tenant. |
eviction-request-cooldown | 10s | Minimum gap between an owner's eviction requests. |
auto-relist-on-tenant-leave | true | Re-list the plot at the same rent when a tenant leaves. |
clear-warp-on-tenant-leave | true | Clear the shop warp when a tenant leaves. |
alert-on-tenant-eviction | true | Broadcast a "now available" alert when an owner evicts a tenant. |
notify-self-on-eviction-action | true | Whether an admin who is also the owner or tenant gets the duplicate notice. |
use-anvil-input | false | Use an anvil prompt instead of chat for the admin deny reason. |
Members are separate from tenancy. An owner or tenant can grant build and shop access to
friends with /sm members add <player> without renting the plot to them. See
Plots.
