Real estate
From Discworld MUD Wiki
There are three types of real estate on the Disc: player housing, player shops, and club housing. They may be rented from auction houses.

[edit] Real estate agencies
Note that in Ankh-Morpork and Djelibeybi, property rental is subject to tax which is under the control of the respective councils (and is able to be set to very high amounts). Tax rates can be viewed on the MUD website.
[edit] Ankh-Morpork
For Ankh-Morpork properties, there is an agency on King's Down, south of Deosil Gate.
Only Morporkian citizens may bid on property here.
[edit] Ankh-Morpork foreign real estate agency
This is the back room of the Ankh-Morpork real estate agency.
[edit] Bes Pelargic
For Bes Pelargic properties, there is an agency on the Street of the Smiling Dog, near the Hall of Records.
Only Agatean citizens may bid on property here.
[edit] Djelibeybi
For Djelibeybi properties, there is an agency on Market Street, west of the northwest side of the bazaar.
- Only Djelian citizens may bid on property here.
- Only two player houses may be directly rented here at the same time (although more may be rented from other players) (Rule #314).
- Only one player shop may be rented here at once (Rule #314).
- Citizens may not rent properties as proxies for non-citizens, though they may share properties with non-citizens (Rule #317).
- Only those appointed by magistrates may bid on shops (Rule #319), and profits go to the treasury.
[edit] Ramtops
For Ramtops and Uberwald properties, there is a stall in Lancre Town.
There is no citizenship requirement, but if you already own property in another area, you can't bid on the same type in the Ramtops. Also, property may not be shared with someone who isn't allowed to bid on it.
[edit] Decoration options
There is room for creativity here! (Not even mentioning a citizens' gallery in the Royal Art Museum of Ankh-Morpork. [1]) (There was a series in the AMD giving iconographs of people's homes at one point.)
[edit] Keeping your stuff
WARNING: Based on the House Owner's Guide. Bugs may have made it inaccurate. Research may involve being nailed to the Brass Bridge; do it in Lancre. Possibly.
- Items must be put on/in furniture to save; things left on the floor will not.
- Anyone can take items from furniture that is not closed and locked (locks are purchased separately); this counts as theft, but is not PK checked. (At one point, NPC thieves, or possibly gnolls, simply collected the furniture!) Lock your doors!
- The guide implies that if you, say, fumble your stuff and take it back, you won't get heavied. However, the warnings on some shop blackboards imply otherwise.[research]
- Even without the capacity of furnture being designed along the lines of playerhouses are not intended as vaults, being more complicated than vaults, it's more likely that a bug will eat your stuff.
- All player housing type buildings have a limited lease term; when it ends, taking stuff counts as theft.
