# Housing and plots

> Claim a free Starter home, own house designs permanently and rent a place to put them.

Owning a **house design** and using a **plot** are separate. A house shell is listed as a **house design** in the menu. Designs remain owned by your character. Plots are exclusive to one character in the current running server and are released when access ends.

## Claim your free Starter home

**1. Browse house designs**

Visit **Bank** and choose **Browse properties**, or open **House** from the menu. The **Realty** screen separates **Homes**, **My homes** and **Plots**.

**2. Claim the free shell**

In **Homes**, view the **Starter home**, choose **Claim Starter home** and confirm. This costs nothing and can be claimed once per character.

**3. Claim a free plot**

Select **Find a Plot** for your owned Starter home. Inspect the actual location with the previous/next arrows, then choose **Claim Plot · \$0** for an available **Free Starter Plot** and confirm while near the bank/clerk or that plot's door.

**4. Find your home**

Use the guide to reach your plot. The Starter home and workshop are ready there.

Free Starter plots support only the Starter home. A plot may be occupied or unavailable in a particular map; use the actual availability shown in the menu.

## Buy and place another design

**1. Buy a design**

Browse **Homes**, open a listing's details and review its actual preview, tier, size and price. Choose **Buy house design** while near the bank/clerk and confirm the bank payment.

**2. Rent an available plot**

Choose **Find a Plot** for an owned design. The camera shows its proposed position at each supported plot. Use the side arrows or controller shoulder buttons to compare locations. **Claim Plot · \$250** charges **\$250 from your bank** for that server session, with no recurring payments.

**3. Place your owned design**

Confirm the selected plot to rent it and place your chosen design. To change the design on your existing plot, preview another owned design and use **Select Property**. Stay near the bank/clerk or your plot's door. The preview is temporary; it creates no property rights until confirmed.

**4. Manage your properties**

Use **My homes** to view permanently owned designs, inspect plot rights, find a plot or guide to the current home. Canceling a plot preview returns to Realty and restores your gameplay camera. Occupancy and eligibility update during preview; another player's claim can make a plot unavailable.

You can use one plot at a time. Renting a paid plot replaces your free Starter plot access. Buying a design alone does not claim land. Placing a different owned design has no separate placement charge and does not remove your other designs.

Placement uses the offered plots; there is no free placement anywhere on the map. Existing mapped properties may be rentable without supporting building replacement. An unsuitable or obstructed plot cannot accept a design. Finish or recover an active ATM job before changing the building.

## Doors and workshop

At your front door, use the compact **Open door** or **Close door** action. **Manage Property** opens Realty when you need it. Visitors see availability information. Only the renter can operate the door. A closed door blocks entry; opening it allows passage. There is no invited-guest permission system yet.

Your house has a crafting bench and drill press access. Toolkit crafting works at either the public Workshop or your own bench; Pistol and Rifle crafting require your own bench. Bring a stolen ATM and spare bits into your home to use the [drill press](/tutorials/atm-robbery).

## Leaving and reconnecting

* **End lease** releases your plot. Purchased designs remain yours; the plot payment is not refunded.
* Disconnecting holds your plot for **ten minutes in the same running server**. The door closes during this grace period.
* Return to that same server before the grace expires to retain access. A different server does not inherit your plot.
* Switching characters or the server shutting down ends plot access. You must claim or rent available land again.
* Losing a plot removes its physical ATM setup, but saved drilling work can be recovered; see [ATM recovery](/tutorials/atm-robbery).

## Moving to another plot

Your designs move with your character's ownership. To leave a paid plot, use **End lease**, then rent another available plot and place an owned design. Renting a paid plot can replace free Starter plot access. Finish or recover ATM work before changing buildings.

> **Are mortgages or guest permissions available?**
>
> There are no mortgages, financing, repossession or lease-to-own options. There is no invited-guest permission system; only the renter can operate the door.
