[ARCHIVED] [FR] Impossibly High/negative Rent (Max Int/-1)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Sometimes, inconsistent.
What is your current game version number? 1.103.250.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? For Rent, Growing Together, High School Years, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Werewolves, My Wedding Stories, Dream Home Decorator, Journey to Batuu, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Paranormal, Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living, Moschino, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Toddler, Fitness, Vintage Glamour, Backyard, Movie Hangout, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unclear, wait for monday in game to see if rent is charged correctly or not.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim is charged exorbitant rent far above the allotted cap for household funds.
What do you expect to see? Rent being charged appropriately according to lease agreement.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Mods disabled.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? N/A, new pack.

Just before the rent triggered, I added some Dream Home Decorator kitchen appliances to the kitchen and a pressure cooker, just as the rent due notification came through, the oven *exploded*, so I'm unclear if that is related, but I felt it might be worth including in case it was. Also I had to copy the form as the bug report form did not populate on the New Topic page. 
Save file available here. 

ETA: Despite paying the bills, the utilities were shut off. I was unable to break the lease to move out, but from Manage Worlds I was able to move into another rental lot. In the new lot, the utilities were still off and the exorbitant rent was transferred to the new rental.

    Confirming with my own screenshot that this is happening in my game as well. (No mods installed. Repairing game didn't work). This is happening on a premade EA lot in Tomarang (rent was initially listed at about $65-70/day)

    i’m experiencing the same thing. i noticed that if you go in and remove all units and re establish them it goes back to normal, but now i have one unit that refuses to be deleted and is still $42 million a day…

    @astronuggie @kadasein I think you can head over to Bug Reports and make reports. Specify that you have these issues with an empty mods folder and anything else you did to fix it.

    I discovered last night that if you switch every unit back to 'shared' then assign the units to your space again, the correct rents now display instead of the 4 million + rent that's first displayed. It's a temporary solution but i found it worked ok for me.
