– Luxe SL Township is a residential AND role-play community. Respect the privacy of all residents. DO NOT enter residential dwellings unless invited by the resident, themselves. DO NOT cam into rented residential properties.
– Voice is available on residential and SOME commercial properties but MUST be contained to the parcel . There is to be no harassing of people to get them to voice. Voice in public community spaces must be IC at all times.

Section 2.2: Object/Prim Rezzing Rules

– Rezzing is restricted to active renters ONLY. You must rent a residential home, commercial space, hotel room, AirBnB or visitor pass in order to have access to the rezz group “Luxe LA”
– Rezzing with a visitor pass is limited to 100 prims for current use only (like a car). You MUST pick up all outside prims after yourself or it will be returned. Repeated offences of littering (leaving behind prims) may face a city fine or disciplinary action. Constant offences may result in a ban from the rez group.
– Rezzing by residents must be within the limits of prims rented, and within the rental space purchased. Rezzing outside the rental anywhere else in Luxe SL is limited to 100 prims for immediate use only, and must be picked up before leaving (this includes vehicles, not in use). Repeated offences of littering (leaving behind prims) may face a city fine or disciplinary action. Constant offences may result in a ban from the rez group.
– All objects rezzed must be in agreement with the sim theme, time period, and surrounding builds.

– Be mindful of the scripts or poses that are set in an object, as lag can be a result of this, keep all scripts to a minimum as much as possible. Anything found running high scripts, or causing issues with lag, will be returned immediately.
– Rezzing of unneeded objects or spamming objects is considered griefing and will result in a minimum of a 24-hour ban.
– In order to maintain the quality and aesthetic of Luxe SL, mesh objects are preferred. – Rezzing of old sculpt or prim content is strongly discouraged, and may be subject to removal.
– A complexity level of anything over 200,000 points is considered abnormally high and may result in the wearer being asked to remove high script items or be ejected from the sim. Your viewers allow you to review your complexity if you are having trouble rezzing in or lagging considerably when others are not, please check this before consulting management about lag issues.
– Breeding breedables (Amaretto, ABC, Barnyard, Wild, etc.) are not permitted on the sim, not on the ground or up in the air. This is an RP Community, not a breedable housing sim.
– If you have an aged out (retired and unable to breed) breedable that you use as a family pet or for riding and it is a REALISTIC animal (we do NOT permit fantasy creatures), then it may be left out (ALL animations and sounds must be turned off).
– If you rent a commercial spot, non-birthed breedables are permitted to be sold (ie. nests, bundles, kennels, etc.).
– Prim and Animesh pets and children are permitted however they count towards your allotted prim count. Keep their running scripts to a minimum. If their functionality results in lag spikes on or around the property you will be asked to pick them up.

⚠️ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE – Management has the right to return items (without notice) resulting in high lag or high script count in order to keep the enjoyment of Luxe SL to its full potential.
⚠️ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE – ANY INFORMATION NOT CURRENTLY COVERED IS SUBJECT TO DETERMINATION BY Luxe SL MANAGEMENT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

Section 2.3: Basic OOC Regulations

Voice is open for roleplay only. If you are not participating in roleplay with voice, please refrain from using voice or you will be teleported home and given a warning. 3 warnings will result in an indefinite ban from public areas. This is a roleplay community, please respect the the roleplay environment, especially when using voice. Please also be mindful of text roleplay going on if in voice, and give text based roleplayers the opportunity to respond in turn.

Allowed Avatars:
Humanoid (walks upright and is for the most part human but has animal-like characteristics…fur, ears, tails…this means that nekos and furries) avatars are permitted to rent and RP under the discretion of management.
These avatars are treated as if they are human.
Even if this IS your avatar, hooves, paws, claws, horns, tails, etc. will be looked at as their human counterparts (hands, feet, headbands, hats, etc), or things that you can take off.
We are NOT a Bloodlines Sim, A&D sim, or any other combat or fantasy type hud sim; there is to be no biting or attacking in any way shape or form here via huds at Luxe SL, even if permission is asked. If you are a resident, citizen, or regular tourist of Luxe SL, we strongly encourage you to remove these huds when in our regions to help reduce the likely hood of this covenant statute being broken.
Fantasy styled avatars are not permitted to RP in Luxe SL…Centaurs, Angels, Vampires, “Monsters”, Werewolves, Zombies…for example.

Section 2.4: Vehicle Rules

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE – Management reserves the right to deem a vehicle unfit for the sim and return it without notice, be it due to the type of vehicle or the appearance of the vehicle. Prims rezzed in RP areas are subject to return as well (without notice) if left unattended after the RP has been completed.
Vehicle use at Luxe SL is allowed, however, vehicles must be realistic. All vehicles need to be no more than 100 prims, and they must be of decent quality to fit the aesthetic of the sim.
Aircraft and foreign/fantasy vehicles (ie. alien spacecraft, flying boats, hovercrafts, airplanes, helicopters) are not permitted on Luxe SL. Some exceptions may be made upon consultation of management. role-play at Luxe SL is as real as it can possibly be and this pertains to vehicles as well.
We strongly urge you to lock your vehicles. If they are unlocked AND in a public area, they are subject to being stolen and used during RP.

Section 3: Rentals

ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED.
NO TRANSFERS WILL BE MADE TO ANY PROPERTY OFF SIM.
All rentals in Luxe SL Township, if available, may be rented by simply paying the rental box located at the rental location.
Refunds are possible ONLY if the sim your rental is on is no longer available and a suitable plot cannot be found on another Luxe SL sim.
In the event of banning or you choosing to leave Luxe SL, NO REFUND will be given. It is your choice to pay tier in advance, it is not a requirement to keep your rental. No matter how much time you have left (1 hour, 1 day, 1 month); if you choose to leave or are banned, your tier is forfeit.
Remaining tier transfers are only permitted for rentals that you LIVE in. If you move in with someone your tier cannot be transferred. Only the tier of the main renter can be transferred to another property they are the main renter for.   If you are leaving the community, your tier is forfeit and WILL NOT be transferred elsewhere.
Any discounts on rentals that are in conjunction with the employment of Luxe SL will only apply after the position has been acquired. Sales Agents do not keep up with those that come and go from departments that are extended discounts, it is on the renter to inform them in order to have a discount applied. Previous payments will not be credited, only future payments will see the price reduction. It is NOT possible to stack discounts.

We will not swap homes under any circumstance.

BASIC landscaping is provided on lots and will remain, we will not perform in-depth or complete landscaping. This allows renters to have more prims for decorating homes, and the chance to personalize their yards while keeping the desired quality of appearance that Luxe SL strives for.
Skyboxes and Platforms are NOT permitted above ANY rental properties by anyone without Admin approval for ANY reason.
We will not permit the rezzing of old or low-quality content or objects that are an eyesore. We want to protect the overall aesthetic of Luxe SL, and we appreciate your cooperation in facilitating that goal with your rentals. These items will be subject to immediate return. While you will be messaged as to why it is NOT a guarantee that you will be given time to remove it yourself.
Tinting/painting of walls inside a rented property is possible but subject to owner availability. We will NOT retexture them, as that can mess with the shading of a house and means that upon moving the home would have to be completely replaced. The outside of residential buildings will not be retextured, and are rarely tinted. Commercial buildings are meant to stay as they are in their outward appearance.
ANY relocations will REQUIRE a one-week payment or more before they are completed. Sales Agents will need to be contacted if you are looking to relocate to another lot within Luxe SL and need the current rental tier transferred to the new location.
If you are a habitual mover or home swapper (you have relocated to multiple lots or swapped homes multiple times in a short period of time), additional fees may be required to be paid to the management staff. This is to compensate for the back end work constantly involved in transferring of lots, time, the reworking of landscaping, driveways, and land, and update of information on multiple platforms.
Commercial properties are available to rent upon approval. All commercial properties are locked until approval is given.
Luxe SL prohibits military operations, recruiters, strip clubs, brothels, whore houses, futuristic equipment, live or birthed breedable markets (nested or bundled ones are permitted), other community advertising spots, or anything that is viewed to be outside the moderate rating (clothing and accessories is the exception).
Commercial buildings with a second floor accessible to the public are considered part of your business. If the second floor is NOT accessible to the public from your store, this floor is then considered an apartment.
Tip Jars: It is understood that you are here to make money as well if you run a business.
Please be mindful of your surroundings and keep them limited to the decor of your business.
They are to be no bigger than 2×2
Tip Jars are not permitted outside the walls of a building. They must remain within the confines of the building itself.
Ban lines are NOT permitted. ALL residents have permissions to manage their parcel ban LIST via the about land feature.
If you wish for privacy you may use the  security panel provided for you by Luxe LA.
Security orbs owned by residents are strictly prohibited.

If you business does not have security and you would like it, please open a general help ticket in discord to see if security can be added.
ALL members of Management and Real Estate MUST be on the white list.
Your rental includes all areas enclosed by the provided fence. You are not permitted to return (or to have returned) any sidewalks, gates, mailboxes, signs, fencing, driveways, or any other infrastructure set out by Luxe SL management, even if it is within your parcel boundary lines.
Rentals are OOC areas unless expressly made IC by the tenant. Please note, the inherent OOC nature of rentals does not mean that you can begin a role-play and then run to your rental and become OOC, effectively halting other players in the role-play you were engaging in. This conduct will not be tolerated. Repeat offenses will result in the loss of role-play privileges.
Child avatars are permitted to rent; however, parents MUST be NPC’d (if they do not reside with the child) when exploring the town IC. RL consequences would follow if a child was seen wandering alone, so expect those consequences at Luxe SL.
Management may return any items left out and unattended ICly and OOCly; especially those items that exceed a renter’s allotted prim amount. If you are leaving items out as part of an RP scene, it would be beneficial to alert a member of management or real estate so that the items are not returned during weekly prim audits.
Any loss of no-copy objects returned by management due to failure to pay rent, failure to take items after rental termination, or failure to pick up after an RP or visiting is not the fault of management. REIMBURSEMENT WILL NOT OCCUR.
Media and Music are accessible on your parcel ONLY if your rental is parceled off. Ensure that ALL media is turned off if you are not ON your rented parcel. ALL sounds MUST be contained to your parcel only, they should not be audible outside the boundaries.
YOUR PAYMENT OF ANY RENTAL BOX IS YOUR ACCEPTANCE AND CONSENT TO CURRENT AND FUTURE AMENDMENTS OF THESE RULES, AS WELL AS AN AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY LINDEN LAB TERMS OF SERVICE.
ABANDONMENT (EFFECTIVE 4/24/2020): IF MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THAT A RENTAL PROPERTY HAS BEEN ABANDONED, THE RIGHT TO RESET THE RENTAL IS RESERVED. ANY TIME REMAINING ON THE RENTAL WILL BE FORFEITED AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN.
Abandonment can be determined by (but is not limited to) the following:
The rental has been set to “Will Not Renew” AND less than 100 prims are left on the property.
The rental has 72 hours or less remaining AND less than 100 prims are on the property.
The rental is void of prims for more than a day and no response has been had from the PRIMARY renter.
The rental is void if the PRIMARY renter has left the resident’s group regardless of prims on-site or subtenants listed.

INDEMNIFICATION:

Neither Luxe SL Township, nor its owners, administrators, and staff (collectively “Luxe SL”) is liable for damages due to the actions of its visitors, residents, or employees, nor is Luxe SL liable for region performance problems, and/or the loss of no-copy items due to a rollback, sim crash, returned objects, or any other reason out of Luxe SL’s control. If you have lost inventory, you should contact Linden Lab directly.
