What is it about the number 4? Seems each time the excessive amount begins with 4. Anyway... I first had the problem with the launch of the pack. Somewhere it stopped and I just started having it again last night. I've tried the workarounds, fixed one unit of 6, the remaining 5 are stuck.

@Wndblwz The reason all the high rent starts with the same number is because the problem is what programmers called an overflow.
If you want a more technical explanation: In computers if you subtract from a variable past its lowest value, in this case 0, the computer pretends there is a 1 before all those 0's and since for instance one less than 10000 (16 decimal) in binary is 01111, if the number was actually 0000 the computer replies that one less than 0000 is 1111 (15 decimal).
I don't remember what integer variable has the highest value we are seeing here, but I hope you get the principle.
To fix it, you usually just test the value after subtraction. If it's higher than before, you have done an overflow. I don't know why it takes so long for EA to add three lines of code.
