“Hello, do you have the rent?”

What is recorded

Site narration

  • ConfirmedItem Lease Agreement: 'Your lease. Signed by you, and your Landlord.'
  • ConfirmedLease body: rent undetermined, payment every seven days; one-time grace period, then missed rent is added to the following week; eviction per Station Ordinances; the landlord may raise the rent by up to 5 percent of the current rent for the following week.
  • ConfirmedThe Landlord is scheduled to collect a fixed rent, plus any rent missed the previous week.
  • ConfirmedIn person he opens with 'Hello, do you have the rent?'; once paid he names the figure for the following week and closes with 'Until next week.' The player can pay, refuse, or buy the lease out.
  • ConfirmedOn a missed payment with grace: unacceptable, returns next week for everything owed, this time ONLY; miss again and eviction. Wild's network Rent Grace is a one-time favour to convince the Landlord of the same arrangement.
  • ConfirmedWithout grace: 'Alright I am calling Security, you are evicted!'
  • ConfirmedHe proposes installing vending machines in front of the store for passive income. Choices: Water Vending Machine (+150 Weekly Rent), Vending Machine (+150 Weekly Rent), or decline. Accept: installed right away, 'See you on sunday.'
  • ConfirmedHe offers leftover goods from the previous tenant as his, with a big discount if the player takes them all.
  • ConfirmedBuyout dialogue: impressed at the credits saved, 'Well, the store is yours.' Ending Buyout: signing the deed lifts rent and the shadow of the Landlord.
  • ConfirmedFrame-verified: a named NPC, the Landlord, presents the rent demand in person; line starts 'Right then. Your rent for here...'.
