Rental Tools

With all of the one time fee people in SL, the poor artists and creators along with people (like me) with more land than creativity, it's time we had some tools to make the process of making "rental" of owned property easier.
I'd like to be able to hand over the keys to a piece of land to someone so she can change the name of the plot, upload a picture and list it in places (with her paying the weekly fee), kick people she doesn't want on the land, etc. Basically, a way to give a renter/tenant all the rights of an owner that can only be trumped by the actual owner.
I know there are ways to do some of this by setting up three person groups and making it group land and so on, but how about a simple tool to assign these rights to a single person?

I would love this feature. I need to rent some land for a small event. I need to be able to terraform and build on it. I'd also like access control. This feature offers all of it. I really want this.

YES! This and a loan feature would be GREATLY appreciated!

Loans sound interesting Darwin, but how in the world would LL manage them without it turning into a mess every time someone decided to flake on their loan payments?

7 days after the payoff date, either a) seize/freeze the debtor's assets, b) automatically transfer the L$ from one account to the other if available, or c) charge the debtor's credit card for a L$ "purchase" through GOM/IGE or some other mechanism to buy enough L$ to perform the transfer in (b)

In all cases, an additional late payment penalty should be applied and paid to the lender. (Or split between lender and LL, for the LL portion to either disappear into the money sink or be placed into the dwell/incentives/stipend pool.)

we can do this with groups now. i've been made an officer, even temporarily, on occasion in order to be able to manage land. of course the land has to be group owned at the time; but doesn't have to stay that way.

the only downside to the arrangement is that you have to trust someone explicitly. is that a bad thing? do you wanna "rent" your land to someone you don't trust? i suppose you might come to think of it.

in that case, let's expand the idea and reintroduce renting from and to a given altitude over a lot of make it easy for building owners to rent multilevel space to varying tenets.
