Previously under development, the ability to rent out space on Decentraland is now live. The rental market for land is now open to owners.
To increase participation in the Decentraland metaverse and the digital real estate market, the ability to rent out properties is important. Decentraland’s renting system is an effort to increase profitability and expand prospects for both current and prospective users of the platform.
Rent is stated clearly in the Metaverse
The Decentraland Foundation controls the server-stored signatures used in the new rental system, and Ethereum transactions are used to pay for the service.
The technical documentation states that the signatures off-chain are necessary to the rental smart contract. By using off-chain signatures, LAND owners can rent out their property without incurring any rental transaction costs.
The smart contract can verify the identity of the listing’s creator when the contract is signed. This guarantees a trustworthy and decentralized method of renting LAND.
Landlords can now advertise their plots or estates for rent on the Decentraland Marketplace. It means that:
Property owners can authorize Rent Smart Contract to act on their behalf in regard to their land holdings by visiting the “my assets” page.
Tenant is responsible for prepayment equal to the daily rate multiplied by the total number of anticipated days of occupancy.
For properties that haven’t rented by a certain date, the landlord might choose to remove the listing. This means that no one may rent the property at the previous rate for the previous duration of time, as the smart contract will not recognize the previous signature.
The owner has the right to modify the listing at any moment prior to a booking.
Once the rental agreement expires, the property can be re-rented or reclaimed by the owner. If landowners want their land back, they must produce documentation showing that their tenant paid for the operator’s licenses and gas.
Land that has been rented out cannot be sold until the tenant vacates the premises, and prospective buyers are unable to make bids during the tenancy.
Finally, landowners will have a say in every decision that affects their property.
Those in the market for a piece of land or an entire estate might peruse available listings there. The tenant must sign the Rent Smart Contract before any MANA may be deducted from their account. The renters will then be able to select a caretaker of their own.
On the Flipside
Somebody has attempted to do this before; renting out property in Decentraland is nothing new. One of Decentraland’s grantees, Double Protocol, had previously implemented an on-chain LAND rental system that let LAND owners to rent out their digital real estate to renters.
A typical plot of land in Decentraland will set you back $3,000. Rental costs might be anywhere from 14 MANA per day to 3,000 MANA per day.
