Property Upkeep is now only added to properties owned by a player who has been active within the past 7 days, stopping upkeep growing forever for inactive players.

Property Upkeep now applies one of several potential impacts on the player when Upkeep is greater than 10% of the value of a property, which is applied daily each time the Property Upkeep addition job is triggered.

The following events may currently be triggered, each with an equal chance of occurring each day -

• Property Benefit Reduction - Reduces all benefits from owning a Property by 10% each time, up to 100%. Property bonuses including Max Intelligence, Intelligence Gain, Uni Course Reduction and Gym Gains and impacted.
• Money stolen from vault - Money is stolen from the Property Vault by desperate unpaid staff members if available, totalling between £1,000-5% of the total upkeep owed. This is removed from the outstanding upkeep balance.
• Bounty Placed - A Bounty is placed on the player by Winston of between 2-5% of the total owed, the Bounty amount is added to the overall Total Upkeep owed.

At present a players actual Intelligence is not reduced if the Max Intelligence lowers due to the debuff, this may be implemented at a later date along with other effects.

How does this affect rented properties?

Can the property vault icon turn red when it exceeds the 10% allowed upkeep to remind you to pay ? 
Same as the event bell turning yellow when you have a new event. 

Currently this only applies to properties lived in by the Owner. This will likely be extended in the future but also applying it to rented properties increases the complexity significantly

paid upkeep should be globally stored on the estate agent NPC, Do a leaderboard of it and then use a percentage of it an event somehow or give some of it to the church as tithes

Property Benefit Reduction - Reduces all benefits from owning a Property by 10% each time, up to 100%. Property bonuses including Max Intelligence, Intelligence Gain, Uni Course Reduction and Gym Gains and impacted.

This seems a little harsh don't you think?  I mean the other two options are way lighter than this and I'm glad I didn't get this one as my penalty today as I logged in not knowing I would be penalized today lmao 

Seems pretty harsh to lose 10% of your benefits every time that's almost enough incentive to demolish the property and start all over.  Seems a little bit much 

Nevermind I thought the 10% reduction meant permanent.  Editing my comment down nothing to see here lol
