Hi All,

I'm quite new to second life and I found a nice plot of land with an option to buy it if I like the location. So I rented the "House" for a few RL/SL weeks. Now I have an interesting problem: I cannot set the house or the land as my formal "home" (e.g. where I return to when I log off or die in a combat sim). Rather I can only set an info hub or public land as my "home".

So can I, as a SL renter, make the place my "home" in the SL sense of the word? If so, can you provide detailed instructions I can point my "landlord" at so we can both get exactly what we want???

TIA

I've never rented land in SL so I'm not sure but I think your landlord has to invite you to a group and give your rights to both build and set access to your rented land. He also must allow you to "set home" on your land.

Talk to him/her.

Yes, the person you are renting from can grant you the option of setting that land as home, but only if the land is deeded to a group and you are in that group with a role that includes that priviledge.

Wow that makes sense! If the land is deeded to a group, can my landlord be assured I will not steal the land?

Group functions are borked at the moment, unfortunately. They don't function as they were intended.
