	[[RSX]]'s barracks are designed with the American Military person in mind. They are to be simple, 1-2 story town houses with 3-5 rooms, and should be decorated simply with an all-american theme. Think suburban home in a neighborhood you'd leave your doors unlocked in, if not for the constant threat of others stealing your food. While running water and space is plentiful here, furniture is mostly supplied by [[RSX]], and is quite samey from building to building.

	The accommodation is housed in several rooms off the planetarium, which has been restored to a reasonable standard and maintained by an unknown party. The rooms are most likely re-purposed offices, storerooms, or possibly classrooms, and likely consist of a single main room each, although the lobby description does mention additional walls have been added. It has functioning electricity and plumbing, and also a small makeshift medical facility in the basement. The area is surrounded by forest which would provide a good supply of wood for furniture, and there is a nearby abandoned strip mall, presumably long since looted of most things but which could potentially still be a source of other building materials. Due to its distance from the city, most furnishings would likely be crafted here from local materials, or be repurposed items from amongst the scientific/academic environment of the area.

			==Features and limitations==

			If two or more people want to share a room or apartment, the room rental system allows for this. Once one person has rented a room, they can use <code>+re #co-owner <name></code> to assign co-ownership of the room to another player, allowing them to both lock and unlock the door, and change the room's name and description.

			There are limitations though - The rental payments will always be charged to the main renter, so if the owners wish to share the costs, they will have to manually transfer funds between themselves to compensate the rent payer. The second limitation is that while all co-owners will be able to lock and unlock the room from inside, only the rent payer will be able to lock and unlock the room from the outside. This means that if co-owners want access to the room when the rent payer is unavailable, the room must be left unlocked when unoccupied. There are few, if any, problems that would be caused by this, but it is worth noting.

	~~Zephyr Inc's dormitories should be 1~~-3 room ~~apartments at the most~~, ~~although you have much more freedom in~~ the ~~way of decoration.

If a more permanent or larger, more complex, or multi-room residence is required, [[Minor Land Deed\|land]] [[Major Land Deed\|deeds]] are available from the [[Mako Shop]] that can be used to create new locations on the map that are entirely under the player's control.

	~~==New Dawn==~~

	~~If you wish to~~ rent a place in New Dawn, you should be expected to live in a 1-3 room apartment, with little plumbing and no electricity. Candles are essential to have set up in your apartment, while you should probably take your pick between a shower or a toilet. Furnishings are similarly restricted, try to take simple, wooden items, or other things that you might find at any old superstore. Having new, hand-built but rustic furniture is also an option.		==Locations with rooms for rent==

	==~~RSX Building~~==		===[[Wet Bitch]] ([[Fairhaven]])===
			The Wet Bitch was once a country club, and now offers the comfort of many studio apartments. Similar to [[Zephyr\|Zephyr Inc]], this location allows a greater freedom in the rental of rooms. While your room is/should be only that, one room with the addition of a bathroom, you have the freedom to use whatever furniture you can scavenge, and the comforts of a nice, hotel quality bed and running water.
