Gina, all you need to do is identify the business "REV". You might want to "xxxx" the names if you don't want this thread shut. Also, a better place to put this is the Bulletin Board. (ehh, sorry, I should have made myself more clear. Res Mods, or a Linden will move this thread for you if they feel it needs to be moved. Cross posting is something to avoid also. You can delete the other thread  ) My advice - Never rent inside SL. Instead, use SL Exchange, SL Boutique, or another of the same web service. That way, you're in more control.

I certainly would expect payment back if land was sold. When I pay that rental box for a month in advance, I'm paying for using their land. If it's sold, they should pay every one of those people back for days unused. It sounds pretty greedy to me that they did that. I'm not sure on this one, but some could've paid many months in advance.

Don't rent from a place that says no refunds up front and I'd have more sympathy.

I agree it is kinda lame that they would not return the money for time that you did not use due to the fact they sold the property or closed it down etc. But this is also just a game. None of this is real, it's just fictional game money you lost, so don't loose sleep over it. So I would just chalk it up as a learning exp. And if they continue to do these kind of things I would immagine eventualy people would find out and not rent from them. Let the buyer beware here I guess. Maby someone should start a kinda BBB for SL to help avoide people getting ripped off like this in the furutre?

As this doesn't help your money lost, I just wanted to give a perspective on something I did similar in my mall.
We were remodelling, had decided that our shop was getting so big we could not have the room for vendors (which has now been changed because we bought more land). Since I was doing this, I actually DID refund my tenants the left over days from their rental spaces.
Well here is the kicker, most of those people got a month free from me. So really - I paid them out of my pocket. The time they had left was the month free. So why did I do this?
I know a lot of people would not, but actually I did not want any problems arising from it. Plus, if I did rebuild my mall in the future (which I did) I would have vendors who appreciated the business practice from me and have them there in the future. And, it has worked.
What it all comes down to is the individual's choice. A person may not all agree with it, but you do accept the rules and regulations of the rental box BEFORE you rent it. I could have done the same thing the person in question here did - it is going directly by the rental agreement. It just all depends on who the person is - how they conduct their shop - and a risk all of us take.
