As a warning , I regret trying to drop Oasis Spring apartments on the Burners and Builders lot. One if never functioned as a residential rental properly and two, now I cant use the lot because the lot if broken. I cant use it for a gym, I cant use it as a residence, I cant use it for anything. I'm so upset.
It's just broken and a huge real estate lot in a nice area. I had so many plans and I have been for the past 10 days just trying to iron out all the quirks to set up.

Did you remove all details regarding rental agreement and unit trait/challenge settings before reverting the lot from "residential rental"? Were all renting households evicted and all assigned units removed? I'm not sure, but I think some conflicts might be caused by the lot actually not being technically "clean" before reverting category. Also, I guess it's safer to revert to plain residential *before* changing to any other lot category. I wonder if a lot can be re-categorized more easily if everything was reset like it was the second we changed the category from plain residential to rental residential. Just speculations from my side, though.

I wonder if there could be a way for the devs to create a "reset lot" cheat, like the "reset Sim" one we have, that would just make a lot blank/empty with a default setting of regular residential.

A Reset function would be great! Not necessarily as a cheat, but it could be available in the lot/unit management UI. There is a square symbol to click to include all units to the 1st unit (?), but resetting all would also remove settings etc. I'm sure hey will look into this somehow, and make changes needed to avoid the corrupted lots. I hope they will also inform us what did cause the corruption, I'm refraining playing rental units for now, because I can't risk my save to go bad, so it would be useful knowing exactly what the problem is - maybe regular playing is not the culprit at all.
