Can’t change residential lot into rental while my sim lives there
I want to change a lot type my sim lives at to residental rental but it won’t let me. How can I do it?!

You actually should be able to do that. Residential Rental lot is a lot you can live in, just like Tiny Home and Haunted House, so you should be able to change into that lot type. In fact, I was able to, and doing so automatically made my household the property owner.
Of course do be mindful of the following: you cannot turn the following lots into Residential Rental lots:
- Penthouses
- Sulani waterfront lots
If your sim isn't on one of these lots, do try repairing the game.
Could you share the picture of how it looks like when you try to change the lot type?
Oh it just was greyed out…I thought you could change it but wasn’t sure. It also said I needed to own it.
@Gloxinia19 all you need to do is move your Sim out for a minute and change the lot type while it's unoccupied. Then get your Sim to purchase it as a business once it's a residential rental and if you want to live there you just have to choose or make a living area for your Sim (who becomes the landlord), then one for the tenant.
Here's the EA guide that should help.
