When you rent, you will be automatically invited to the Vanderbuilt Estates group. You must accept this group invitation to rez. If you miss the invite, simply click your rental and click "group invite" to receive another.
You must be wearing the Vanderbuilt Estates group to rez.
If you're having trouble rezzing in certain areas, be sure to rez a prim that you can place objects on as you pull things out of your inventory. If you were already in the group and cannot rez, try leaving the group then clicking your rental & group invite to receive another.

All you need to do is click your rental, click tenants and add the names of anyone you want joining your home. Keep in mind, their prims will count against your prim allowance. They will receive a group invite to rez once added and will need to click the rental if they miss it. We recommend asking for edit rights for anyone rezzing in your home should you need to move or return their items.
Click the security tablet in your home. You can choose to arm or disarm, add people to a guest list or ban people from your property. If you have any trouble with security or another resident in regard to securing your home please do not hesitate to contact Zanevanderbuilt Resident. Smaller rentals in Little Toyko, Venice Blvd, Vine St and Faire skyboxes do not come with security.
If you live on a private parcel, you can request an update to your music stream. Please send the link to the stream as a ticket in Discord or to ZaneVanderbuilt resident along with your address.
<br/
If you are in an apartment building or a home that is not on its own parcel, we cannot change your personal stream. We recommend using a SL media player or radio. Be sure to turn these off when you are not present. We will send a warning about loud media that is active when you are not on sim, but this could ultimately lead to a ban if abused.

No. Keep in mind, this is a role play sim, you do not own the land. Please forward any requests regarding broken land or issues via Discord ticket and a member of staff will respond.
No. We are not able to give everyone who lives on the sim eject/banning rights. Please make use of your home's security. You can eject and ban residents to prevent them from coming into your house. If you are being harassed, trolled, etc please contact us via Discord ticket.
No, we do not currently offer land for sale or house swaps. Please ensure you visit the home prior to renting to ensure you like the home. Your rental is for the home.
You can rez anything you'd like at your home that is not offensive, not an obstruction and is on your property without negatively impacting the street-facing side of your home.
The property may currently be rented, reserved for a sim sponsor or locked. If a property is available for renting, it will display float text indicating its available. If you need help finding a home, keep an eye on real estate openings and stop by to connect with a realtor. You can also request an appointment. Be sure to list a wide variety of available times to meet. Appointment requests can only be honored given agents' availability.
Sim Information
Yes, anyone renting on Bayside is welcomed to drive a car within your prim allowance. You must either remove your car or park in a designated parking space. If you have a driveaway, you can park your car there. If not, you will need to find a metered space. Meters in Bayside can be paid hourly and there are select weekly parking spaces available.
<br/
Please note, only Bayside residents, including skybox renters, can rez vehicles in Bayside. If you do not rent in Bayside, you will not be able to rez. Paying a parking meter will not give you rez rights. For hourly spaces, prices vary per neighborhood. If you pay 3 hours on a meter, you will get an additional 3 hours free to accommodate for business parking. If you come across an hourly parking space with time remaining and the renter/driver has left, you're welcomed to use the remaining time. Please do not use a weekly parker's space. These will be designated with their name on the rental. Failure to abide by parking laws will results in tickets (in character) but may eventually lead to your inability to drive in Bayside, if ignored. Please read more on parking at - https://baysidecityrp.com/car-parking-rules/

Anything you can think of. Businesses should fit within the theme and contain high quality furniture/decor/vendors that meet a city aesthetic. You're welcomed to operate role play businesses or businesses to earn Lindens. Keep an eye on Discord announcements and in-world notices to meet other business owners and keep up with what's going on for businesses in Bayside.
Residents you may rez small role play items as needed - such as yoga mats and beach towels but you MUST pick up after yourself. Failure to do so repeatedly may lead to a sim ban. Non-residents, we do not offer rez rights. You will need to have a rental in the city that allows prims.
<br/
Any rental that allows prims will send an invite to the Vanderbuilt Estates group. You need to wear this group to rez. If you missed the invite be sure to click your rental to request. If the invite is not coming, ZaneVanderbuilt bot may be offline. Try again in a few minutes or submit a ticket via Discord.

Yes, keep in mind bans are permanent and they will be banned on all estates owned by Meela Vanderbuilt, inhibiting access to the entire city of Bayside and any sim she owns across the grid. With that in mind, we take ban requests very seriously and you will need to provide as much information as necessary.
For any personal disputes - this can be resolved by blocking an individual. We will not get involved in personal disputes and do not ban individuals because you may have a personal issue with them.
For breaking sim rules, etc, please open a ticket with details about the rules broken and any evidence you can provide. If someone is actively trolling, damaging the sim, etc please submit a ticket as soon as possible.
If someone has entered your property - you will need to give them a warning. Yes, security is available to remove them from the property but if they are an unwelcomed guest, be sure to message them to let them know they are not welcome in your home. We will need to see a screenshot of this chatlog in your ticket. Individuals can end up in homes for various reasons - ie they may have previously rented and have the rental set as home, they may not realize they've crossed your parcel lines, they may be lagging, etc. Be sure to let them know they have entered your home and it is a private space. If they do not respect your wishes, you may open a ticket.
If you need to capture video, we recommend Gyazo (no audio) or Medal (you can clip moments after they happened, up to 10 minutes in the past)

Businesses
You must have a business that is already open and operating in Bayside. The business owner role is intended for businesses who generate some sort of role play - ie opening times, events, hiring employees etc. Stores or spaces that sell products but do not offer role play will not need this role, you are still welcome to promote your business in the appropriate channels in Discord.
All business owners are welcome to 1 custom channel in our Discord server for communicating with your staff.
• Your business must be open and operating
• You should have previously posted or promoted your business in Discord.
To request the business role, please submit a ticket in Discord. Only submit once you have opened and are operational. Submitting a request prematurely may inhibit you from obtaining the role in the future. <br/
Include the following information <br/
1. Business or faction name - this needs to be the name of your business.
2. Business location - include the SLURL of your business. We will teleport there to confirm you are open and operational.
3. Do you need new roles created? You can have up to 2 roles created - one for staff and one for management, who will be able to manage your channel.
4. List names that need to be added to the roles - include their discord name and the role they need. If you already have people who need a role, this will strengthen your request as you should already be operating to get a channel. You can also instruct individuals to use the role request channel later to request your role. Just note, you'll need to comment below them to approve it.
That's all! Requests can take about 7-10 days complete. We need to review, verify details, see activity from your business and also create roles, modify permissions and we may request you open a ticket or connect with someone from Vanderbuilt Realty for more information.
