Terminology

---

Parcel
A distinct, continuous (undivided) portion or tract of land.

Tenant
a person or group that rents and occupies land, a house, an office, or the like, from another for a period of time. The tenant is the customer of the landlord.

Landlord
You, the CasperLet account holder and land owner.

Manager
The people that help the landlord manage rentals.

Your Account

No, you cannot (currently) use your CasperVend account username/password if you have one - CasperVend and CasperLet are using two different logins.

See how to create (or reset) your CasperDNS Account.

About The Units

Note on New Units

---

Click to see larger image

As you can see in this image, when you click "change" to change the rental price, you will also get an additional option:

 Adjust time remaining on unit appropriately

Most landlords will want to leave this UNchecked/UNticked when setting out a brand new rental unit.

Debit Permissions

---

See the page on Debit Permissions to understand why these are necessary.

Placing Units

---

If you are an estate manager on the sim/region or the owner of the group that owns the mainland parcels you will be able to rez objects on the land even if the rights are otherwise turned off. When placing rental units, it's always a good idea to turn on "view land owners" and/or "view property lines" to make sure you are placing the unit in an area where scripts will always work, and the renter will not be able to return it. Most residents will behave in this regard, but there's always going to be someone who will want to test the estate staff.

How does a unit know which parcel to track?

---

When you are renting parcels on a sim, simply rez the rental unit ON the parcel you want it connected to.

Then you can move it off the parcel onto land where the renter can't return the rental unit, or move it to your sim's rental HQ.

Difference Between Meters and Boxes?

---

Both types allow rental state changes - showing whether a unit is available, rented, etc. - but where the box includes transparency functions, the meter does not because it's designed to be left out and visible at all times. As far as tenants are concerned, there are no functional differences between the boxes and the meters. Both will accept payments, both will show state changes.

Each type comes in a primary/master version, and a secondary/slave version that acts as a relay. You cannot use a "slave" unit in place of a primary unit - the "slave" units have no "brains" of their own, and exist solely to pass commands and responses back and forth from the primary unit it is linked to.

The primary/master unit names are as follows:

  CasperLet Rental Box 
  CasperLet Rental Meter
  CasperLet Mesh Rental Meter

The secondary/slave unit names are as follows:

  CasperLet SLAVE Box
  CasperLet SLAVE Meter

Customising Your Rental Units

To create your custom rental units AND to make sure rental state changes are reflected (or not, as you choose) between rental and availability, see the Rental customisation page.
