Please use this thread going forward: [FR] Impossibly High/negative Rent (Max Int/-1) | EA Forums - 12237177
I was able to resolve this, but it took some doing.
My issue occurred when I put a lot in from the gallery. I have no mods. I don't recall if I had changed the property to a rental one before I placed the lot or if I changed it when I put it into play.
Here's how I fixed it:
1. Change the lot to a standard residential lot.
2. Change it back to a rental residential lot.
3. Reconfigure all of the units as before.
The rates came down substantially.

This worked! Thank you.
It may still be a bug, but at least the workaround reduced the rent from 4.6 million per unit! It's now about $2000. This my Sims can do!
It also fixed the community building from being available for rent, despite being set to Shared for all areas.
I also had to clear all the lot traits and lot challenge when it was residential, and NOT add these to the individual units. Small sacrifice for things to work right!
I've tried to fix my game multiple times by doing this and it still goes back to 4 billion when I restart my game.
Same here. I've changed the lot types back and forth from Residential to Residential Rental a bunch of times. It does significantly lower the cost but it's only temporarily. The next time I load up the game or come back to that neighborhood it's 4 billion again. So now I just leave it alone 😞
