August 3 Update — Rent Management, Unit Turns & Dynasty Governance

Today’s update adds a major property-operations expansion along with several progression, negotiation, HQ, and save-reliability fixes.

Unit Turns and Vacant Units

Vacant residential and storage units now move through a proper make-ready process before they can be leased again.

You can choose Basic, Standard, or Premium turn scopes, set portfolio defaults, and control the asking rent used when the completed unit returns to the market.

Occupied Rent Management

The Rent Roll now supports individual and bulk occupied-rent changes, including:

• Setting an exact target rent
• Increasing or decreasing rent by a dollar amount
• Applying a percentage adjustment
• Aligning storage rents across a property
• Updating the default asking rent for vacant storage units

The preview shows when each change becomes effective and highlights tenant move-out risk before anything is committed.

Large Rent Rolls now use pagination and preserve your selected property, page, filters, tenants, scroll position, and keyboard focus after changes.

Dynasty and Governing Documents

Fixed a progression issue that could permanently lock qualified second- or later-generation family offices out of the Founder’s Charter, Board, Foundation, and other governing documents.

Completed generational succession now permanently establishes the dynasty for governance purposes. Existing affected saves are repaired automatically when loaded.

Players do not need to restart, replace their heir, or recreate their office.

Headquarters now also shows clearer information about permanent dynasty status, current-generation successor readiness, heir readiness, and any remaining governance requirements.

Succession Warning Visibility

Important succession decisions can no longer become buried beneath routine monthly reports.

Unresolved succession items now receive an Action Required marker, remain prominent in Messages, and can be returned to directly with a dedicated button.

Seller Negotiations

Sellers now require meaningful movement during counteroffers. Repeated token increases may cause the seller to hold firm or end negotiations rather than guaranteeing a discounted purchase.

Additional Reliability Fixes

This update also includes additional corrections for HQ ownership and upgrade accounting, HQ persistence and refresh behavior, and durable save confirmation around important decisions.

Thank you to everyone who sent saves, screenshots, detailed reproduction steps, and honest feedback. Several parts of this update came directly from those reports.
