Rental Information

Residential rentals at Mesa 5 come in two flavours: Space and City.

Information on commercial rentals (that is anything involving sale of items or provision of services for L$ not RP currency) can be found here

Space Rentals

Space rentals allow rezzing of ships, small space stations, fighters, gear etc. Residents with space rentals may rez their items in any of the public areas below 2290m. Permanent structures such as stations may only be rezzed between 1800m and 2290m, ships, fighters and other such equipment may be used throughout the sim aka the RP areas. While ship/sci-fi building is permitted elsewhere in the sim, we request that general building be done outside the space areas. (No one wants to see a plywood house floating through space while trying to RP).

Ranging from 250 LI to 750 LI, space rentals are provided at a rate of L$2.5 per LI (prim) per week.

City Rentals

Various structures throughout Mesa 5 can rented for both residential and RP purposes. These rentals are not to be used for commercial purposes IE no vendors or stores, people wishing to set up shop will be able to do so once the commercial districts are completed.

Apartments

Apartment rentals are as you’d imagine,  currently apartments can be found in the under and midcity. Overcity apartments are under construction.

These rentals are aimed at residents wanting a permanent home or a home for their RP character in the sim.

Pricing

Auto-Return and Small Craft Privileges

  • By default, the estate’s auto-return is set to 15 minutes or less. This is so that visitors can use scripted items, such as weaponry or gadgets.
  • We also permit the use of small craft without a rental or subscription, provided they do not cause too much land impact or lag. Objects will not be auto-returned if an avatar is sitting on them, so to use a craft like a fighter, simply rez it and then take a seat. If the craft has been out longer than 15 minutes, it will be auto-returned once you stand up again.
  • Our resources are limited, so please do not attempt to circumvent auto-return via scripts, temporary rezzers or any other such method. We wish we could grant everyone free prim usage but it’s simply not possible. People found to be rezzing via unauthorised methods will, unfortunately, have to be banned. Note for clarification: use of rezzers in general is fine, using them to break auto return or hide large amounts of prims from staff is not.
