(2) The practice mostly affected new players, who see listings on #realestate for rental rights, blindly buying them not knowing they are encouraging an unethical market that continuously grew.

(3) The intent of this Act is simple: completely outlaw the sale rental rights, in accordance with new DCT policy, and grant the DCT the sole authority to enact their policy, while also clearing ambiguity around “eviction reports” not being named “compliance report”, introducing a fine on being over plot limits, and clarifying the increased realtor limits.

3 - Definitions

(a) Eviction Report - A report, sometimes referred to as a Compliance Report, evicting a person from a region if the region is not compliant with DCT policy.
