We can also remove a children's room if you don't need one, or discuss options if you need a children's room and the home doesn't already include one.While we do not offer complete home furnishing remodels as part of a rental, we strive to be as flexible as possible. If you're interested in more extensive changes or would like to use our design services, please contact TheHillsEstates Resident directly to discuss your vision.For larger customization projects that require significant revisions, we may ask that you prepay at least two weeks of rent (depending on the scope of the project).

🌴 Due to our limited availability, all of our homes are rented on a first come, first served basis. However, if there's a home that's currently occupied and you don't want to miss the opportunity to rent it, we offer a Home Reservation Deposit.By placing a reservation deposit equal to half of one week's rent, you'll be able to rent the home when it becomes available. Your deposit is fully applied toward your first week's rent, so you're simply securing your place in line.🌟 To reserve a home, simply pay the "Deposits" mailbox located in our Rental Office and include the home number in the payment description. Once you've made your payment, please reach out to our team so we can confirm your reservation. If you'd prefer, you can also contact us directly, and we'll be happy to assist you every step of the way.✨ Reserving a home is the best way to ensure you don't miss out on the home you've been waiting for.
Joining our waiting list is easy! Simply click here or use the Waiting List Board located in our Rental Office to be added automatically.

Rather than waiting for your turn in line, you'll receive a landmark notification every time a new home becomes available. This gives everyone on the waiting list the opportunity to view and rent newly available homes as soon as they're released. • If you’re interested in a specific home, the fastest way to get it is to click the mailbox at that home, select “Notify Me,” and enter your information. By doing this, you’ll be notified ASAP as soon as that specific home becomes available, giving you the best chance to secure it before someone else.✨ Because our homes rent quickly, joining the waiting list is the best way to stay informed, secure the home you want, and never miss a new availability.

If you're unable to rez objects, it's usually due to one of the following reasons:1. You're not wearing your tenant group tag.✨ Make sure you're wearing your The Hills Tenant group tag while rezzing. Objects can only be rezzed when the correct group tag is active.2. You joined our group before becoming a tenant.✨ If you joined The Hills group before renting, you may not have received the correct tenant role. Simply leave the group, then rejoin through your mailbox after renting. This will automatically assign you the proper tenant tag and restore your rezzing permissions. *You may have to relog after leaving the group to rejoin.3. You're trying to rez directly on mesh.✨ Some mesh surfaces don't allow objects to rez properly. Simply rez a prim first, then rez your object on top of that prim.
