RealEstate

Buy, rent, and lease protected claims.

RealEstate is a GriefPrevention expansion that lets players sell, rent, and lease claims or subclaims. It is used when you want to transfer a protected area cleanly without removing claim protection first.

Overview

With RealEstate, claim transactions happen directly through signs attached to a GriefPrevention claim or subclaim. This keeps the process simple for both owners and buyers.

Important:
RealEstate only works as an addon to GriefPrevention, so the land must already be claimed before it can be sold, rented, or leased.

What It Can Do

Sell a claim or subclaim outright to another player.
Rent a protected area for temporary access.
Lease a claim through scheduled payments until ownership transfers.

Selling Claims

Use a sign with this format:

[sell]
<price>

Sneak-right-click the sign to view the sale information.
Right-click the sign normally to buy the claim.
After the purchase is completed, the sign is destroyed automatically.

When Selling Makes Sense

Use it for shops, starter houses, land parcels, or finished builds you want to hand off permanently.
Make sure buyers understand exactly which claim or subclaim they are purchasing before they click.
Keep signs placed clearly so the intended transaction is obvious.

Renting Claims

Use a sign with this format:

[rent]
<price>
<duration>

Renting gives the renter temporary build access to the claim or subclaim.
Rented areas may be renewed if the renter wants to keep the space longer.
Players can manage renewals with /re renewrent enable or /re renewrent disable.

Duration Examples

1 week 2 days = 9 days
2 weeks = 14 days
3 day = 3 days
12w 5d = 89 days
3d = 3 days

Leasing Claims

Use a sign with this format:

[lease]
<payment amount>
<number of payments>
<interval>

Lease signs split a purchase into repeated payments. Once all required payments are completed, the buyer keeps the claim.

Lease Example

[lease]
10
3
1d

This means the buyer makes 3 payments of 10, spaced 1 day apart. After the final payment is completed, the claim stays with the buyer.

OneSMP Notes

Use claim transactions carefully and only with players you trust to follow the agreed terms.
Double-check claim boundaries before buying, renting, or leasing so there is no confusion about what area is included.
If a transaction affects shared bases, towns, shops, or community builds, make sure everyone involved understands the ownership change first.
