Proper Etiquette for Giving a Landlord Notice

I gave myself 2048 of estate land for Christmas. It is in a mixed use area, but given that my builds are a bit experimental that's the best place. Besides that I'm a new urbanist at heart.

I have a perfectly fine landlord. He's a land baron. I pay my rent via an automated button on the wall of his office in the sky.

After I had rented for two days, the landlord IM'ed me to tell me how nice my property looked! I rented a "rat tail" parcel. I call it that because it includes a strip of land that sticks out from the rectangle like a rat's tail. I use that for a grove of trees. I make trees and other plants. In the language of Econ 102, my parcel went from being a "problem" to creating an external economy for the area. I learned that when I went to take pictures the landlord had put up a megaprim with trees that vaguely match my own (The biomes don't match. Mine is tropical. His is temperate in autumn.) on the other side of a neighboring parcel to block the view of the back of a mall. The neighboring parcel which is now for sale looks very desirable.

In short, I've turned into the anchor that is helping to clean up a grubby corner of Not Going to Say Where. The problem is I pay for the priviledge.

The other problem is I don't need a 2048. I'm not cut out/don't have the time/ not sure where to begin in the world of retailing. I all ready have a home on my 512 to which I'm deeply attached. And last night, I finally made a platform 14.5m off the ground (or a bit more) that can hold two retail kiosks and fit on the 512 (which has 57 prims left idle.)

In plain economic sense, I'd be better off going back to the 512, taking down the house, and putting up the platform and some of the new trees. I'd have a place for retail vendors and still enough square meters at ground and platform level.

The problem is I'll wreack what good I've done for the landlord and I may wreack my goodwill and perhaps reputation. I'd be happy to give the landlord copies of my plants so he can keep the improvements. Reducing the rent won't induce me to stay unless we work out a co-op deal (plants and low primage housing or other stuff I make) in exchange for rezzing rights.

Quite simply I don't need a 2048 unless I can figure out a way to promote a business and have the time and inclination to do so.

Is there a polite way to give a landlord notice and is there a way to pass on the plants to him which I'm more than happy to do? The landlord's first language is NOT English and I think his schedule and mine are exact opposites which makes things worse. I don't just want to walk away like a thief in the night. On the other hand, I don't want to be nickel and dimed for land I don't need.

Give him a months notice if you feel inclined to. I'm sure he will appreciate it. When you leave, tell him you are leaving the trees for him and he can keep them or return them as he sees fit. Or... if you have the trees full perm give him copies.

You could copy and paste to a notecard what you just posted above........modify to address him personally instead of us. And then ask him what would be best for him in the way of notification.

I'm pretty sure he could translate it.

I'd keep it short and sweet.

Type in a note card that you have loved your time at Whatsis Estates, but you will be leaving the parcel in (insert date or time frame here.) Send it to the owner asap.

The main thing is just to let them know.

Say "I break with thee. I break with thee. I break with thee." Then spit.

Ipso facto, coitus interuptus.

Don't you also have to click your heels together three times and maybe spin in a circle or two? And as for "then spit" -- is that at his feet, in his face, on the land, or just into a strong wind?
