    @crinrict Thanks so much for the suggestions and help, i've just been able to fix the problem so ill post it here for anyone else that has this issue.
    After closing out the game and removing all of my mods/cc from my mods folder, i created a new save file. Because i had backed up my save, i was able to save all my active households (who all had cc) to the gallery. I created a place holder sim in the new world then placed down the residential rental j was having touble with. After seeing no issues with the place holder household, i exit the game and placed all my CAS CC back in the mods folder and reloaded the game. I then placed down the households that i saved in the gallery that i had trouble with in the previous save. After seeing no issue i exited the game and one by one redownloaded the mods i had that needed updating into my mods folder leaving maling sure to load the game each time and delete localthumbcache from my sims 4 folder each time before starting up my game. It now works with no issues and i have several rental properties that i have placed in the world with no issue.

@naturalista98 Yes, an older save that doesn't have the issue yet.

Vanilla means no mods/cc in your game (aka empty mods folder)

If it works this way, I would just continue on the backup (do make sure to create a new one in case something else goes wrong)
