Renting a home in Second Life – $17L per week !

I had a notecard from a lovely lady yesterday – thanking me for showing rental homes – it was super lovely to hear that it had been of help ❤

It made me realise I hadn’t done a rental blog for a while and I think I got ever so lucky today. I found Chasing Dawn Homes – apparently they’ve been renting homes since 2011 – and Id never come across them till today! Basically they have several sets of these $17L per week apartments, each is themed and housed inside a well made location. Above is the marina, moving water, sounds outside, ever so pretty.

I really loved the rainy location (as I live in the UK and I’m used to rain) As I couldn’t find any vacancies I sort of spied through the windows – you get a bed, couch etc (good makes) everything you need to call home.

This is the main office. If you look at where I’m stood, there is a board to register your interest in a home , so you will be alerted of vacancies. To the right of that are the teleporters to take you to each apartment themed area. There are other homes at very inexpensive prices so take a peek at those too.

New Home?

Gosh I haven’t had a look at the Second Life rental market for a while and actually I haven’t looked at my own “little hideaway” rental company for ages ! Colour me surprised when I did and saw that Amanda Dench the owner has added some new style homes wooo! I’ve rented my sky home with The Rookery for ages, its one of the $30L per week with 10 prims types. I have two large rooms, one which I have split into a bedroom and kitchen. Obviously you can see over time I have collected more and more stuff ! So the prim limit has been raised. However they do come ready furnished and you then have your prims to personalise. These are SO rarely available but it pays to keep checking at the rental office .

Had a mooch in the rental office and found NEW homes ! The prices range from a modest 70L per week up to around $500L per week, all furnished and ready to go with your own prim budget added for your items. Above is one of the larger sky homes, beautiful brick built style. Huge rooms which are amply furnished with some great items. This one is in its own sky environment, some are on the ground. Go check at the office and see what’s available – thanks Amanda for being the bestest landlady ever ❤

Very Cheap Rental homes

Im always on the look out to show you some dead cheap rental homes. Sometimes its just what you need, specially in these times when everyone’s budget is squeezed. I found Evanstone Rentals in the classifieds, they have several locations with varying prices of homes. The styles vary from site to site, the furniture varies from home to home ! I rented this little house for $14L per week, its part furnished and you get 30 prims of your own. (Although some of the same houses said 25Li of your own?)

The house is a little strangely sized, so everything tends to look a bit small inside it, but it is what it is. At this location there are plentiful outside areas to wander around in, plus the homes have a little balcony to the front. Upstairs there is a bedroom – the bed in mine isn’t overly special and it doesn’t say if you can ask for it to be removed – however, each home seems to have different furniture, so check whats inside before renting. The one and only thing (if I was going to live here) that Id just HAVE to ask about, is the landlords love of HUGE rotating “FOR RENT” signs above the empty houses – its so ugly ! Feel free to wander around No 44 – thats mine – there does not appear to be a way to lock or secure the door – so have at it !

Apartment Life – $10L home!

My $50L months budget is still intact hooray! I hunted high and I hunted low, finally found an apartment for just $10L per week. This is AL, they rent very inexpensive homes from $10L – $50L. The more you pay , the better the home – simple. These apartments aren’t bad though – just a little oversized. Two rooms, furnished as a lounge and a bedroom. Menu driven stuff – I haven’t tried it and if I was going to stay long term Id prolly ask for it to be removed and use my own gear. I was also given 10 prims – I’ve used 5 so far phew! I’ve got this for 2 weeks – so KERCHING I have spent to date $22L – oh my almost half way through my allowance in just 2 days !
