Resources: hippoRENT v5: Editing Rental Time to the Second

Changing Rental Length Inworld

You can easily change the tenancy length on a rental box inworld.

• Click the box and choose “Voice Cmd” from the menu that appears.
  
  
• Type time followed by the tenancy length in days:hours:minutes:seconds format; eg. to set 4 days, 12 hours, 17 minutes and 10 seconds, type time 4:12:17:10.
  
  
• To change the time part of the tenancy and leave the days outstanding alone, simply leave off the days part of the input and just enter hours:minutes:seconds; eg. to set the time to 11 hours, 30 minutes and 45 seconds, type time 11:30:45.
  
  
• To change just the days part of the tenancy, use the length voice command instead; e.g. to set 10 days, click the box, choose “Voice Cmd” and type length 10.
  

You can also use these commands from a rental server; so for example, click your server, choose “Voice Cmd” and type box 1 length 9 or box 2 time 10:12:30:45 to update the tenancy length on boxes remotely.
