Often (50% - 99%)What is your current game version number? 1.103.250.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all ep but eco lifestyle and get together, most gp and a few kitsSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? play as a landlord and have a tenant vacate on their ownWhat happens when the bug occurs? I got the notice that the tenant was vacating on their own. The tenants name no longer displays next to the unit, but the game keeps thinking the unit is occupied. I cant rent it again, I cant edit it in build mode, and I cant change the lot type because the game thinks I still have a tenant renting.What do you expect to see? I expect when they vacate the unit should become empty, editable, and/or rentable again.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. For Rent ... Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title.

Hi! I am having the same issue but I found a semi-fix until a better solution is found. Basically, if you go into manage world, you can make a sim household move into that appartement. I don’t know if it works with pre-made households but it worked when I made one to move into the apartment.

@crinrict Even after selling it, vacating in, and bulldozing it....when I try to place the lot again it still thinks someone lives there even though it doesnt show the tenants or their name associated with the rental unit.

@HellCatStyle there's no one left to evict, but it wont place the lot again

I am having the same issue only difference for me is no one ever moved into the unit but the game is saying the unit is occupied and I can't "evict" the non-existent tenants or edit the lot.

@Andwee42 yes this workaround works! So you can just move a household in a rental unit from manage world (works also for premade sims), return to the game, and evict them via dialogue option, and the unit will be free again to fill with available tenants with editable rent per day, unit rules etc.

@HellCatStyle Could you evicting everyone through the map, then go to build mode from the map, save your lot to the library, bulldoze the lot completely, replace lot from the gallery

See if it then works again.

Tenant Vacated and I tried to rent out the the house but I can't, as it keep saying the house is still being occupied by the tenant so I press the evicted button but no use, then I go change the house and put it under my home unit but the bug house is still saying it is occupied, then I go to the map and make the whole house to be shared but it still says it is occupied, then I go sell the residential then I try to change everything to shared and trying to delete the rented unit but it is showed occupied, then I let my sim move household and then buy back the residential building but it still occupied even though I have already evicted everyone, I try to delete the wall even if the are is shared the wall still shows at the house is being occupied by tenant. I tried to save the lot and wanted to bulldoze but still can't. I saved the lot and the characters and try on a new game, and I wanted to place the lot at the same place it shows unavailable, so I tried to put it at different places put it still show unavailable. I have tried with mod and non-mod but it still give the same result like the house is still being occupied.
