Does LL have set any rules about rental boxes' refunds ?

[Loviathar Hellman]

Let me illustrate this case.

You are renting a little space on a sim with a few prims.
You are not renting the land properly but are paying a rental box (hippo for example) and your landlord checks that you are not going above your prim limit. You pay your rent regularly.

Let's now imagine that you paid your rent for six weeks yesterday and today, your landlord announces that he's closing the sim in 2 days but that you won't get refunded before 8 weeks...
Is it allowed ?

Are there any rules saying : "a landlord is supposed to refund a renter just when the contract is ended on his side" or is allowed to make you wait for weeks before getting your refund ?

Is this considered as a fraud if he refuses to refund you even when the sim has closed ?

TY.

Since most of the posts like these end in the renter never getting their money back, sounds like you at least have a promise of getting yours.  You've obviously never been on the receiving side of a bankrupcy where it may take months if not years to only get a small portion of your money back!

This falls under the resident-to-resident rule.  Meaning that LL will not intervene in a resident-to-resident dispute.  Sorry, but there really is no renters protection agency in SL.

There are no rules, and whatever the landlord chooses to do, he can do.  You have no recourse and LL will not intervene.

Sorry about that, but that's how it is.
