Slumlord: Landlord Empire

You own twelve flats on Bellweather Row. The roof leaks, the boiler is older
than one of your tenants, and the rent lands on the first of every month
whatever you do about it.

Slumlord is a landlord simulator about the gap between what a building needs and
what you feel like paying for. Every month, people write to you. The lift-off
paint. The window that opens four inches. The smoke alarm that came away in
someone's hand. You get three buttons: fix it, stall it, or refuse it outright.

Fixing costs money now. Stalling costs nothing and costs you later. Refusing
closes the ticket and leaves the hole exactly where it was, and the tenant never
quite forgets.

A FIFTEEN-YEAR CAREER, ONE MONTH AT A TIME
No timers. No energy bars. No waiting for a building to finish. The month only
moves when you move it, and it saves on every single decision, so you can put it
down mid-inspection and pick it up mid-inspection three days later.

THE COUNCIL IS A REAL OPPONENT
Every unanswered complaint raises how interested the housing team is in your
address, and you can see that number before you end the month. Nothing in this
game ambushes you. The inspector who turns up has a type, and you are told which
one before you decide whether to do the work, contest it, or send a very
generous gift basket. One of those three is the right answer and it is not
always the same one.

TENANTS ARE PEOPLE
Twenty-eight of them, with names, jobs and patience that runs out at different
speeds. Grandma Yun will apologise for mentioning the boiler. The man in 3B will
organise the entire second floor. Neglecting the tenant who never complains is
the cheapest thing you can do this month and the most expensive thing you can do
this year.

THE MONEY
Rent, mortgages that never amortise, insurance that climbs as the building
rots, and a property tycoon's real question underneath all of it: do you milk
this block, renovate it, or sell it to someone worse than you? Take a wreck to
a good standard, keep it clean, and you can move it up a class — the only thing
in the game that pays forever.

Fix everything and you will retire comfortable and small. Fix nothing and the
council will have your buildings before year two. Everything interesting is in
between.

FREE, OFFLINE, NO PURCHASES
No in-app purchases of any kind. Plays with the aeroplane mode on.

Mature themes: neglect, eviction and bribery, played for comedy. Nobody real
was harmed and no actual property was managed.
