## Updated house decay rules

* Condemned houses will go through six stages of decay which will take at least five days,
	+ Like New -> Slightly Worn -> Somewhat Worn -> Fairly Worn -> Greatly Worn -> In Danger of Collapsing
* When a house goes into the condemned status the house will become private and all access will be removed. Friend and Co-owner lists will be cleared.
* Houses with rental vendors will become OSI owned and have to go through a cycle for the second time to notify vendor owners.
* The house collapse timer will appear on the house sign as it nears the “In Danger of Collapsing” stage. This timer will indicate how long until the house collapses.
* Information regarding the whereabouts of structures that are in danger of collapsing can be obtained by visiting City Trade Ministers. City Trade ministers will bark this information when approaching, similar to how Krampus' location is relayed.
* When the house drops the housing area will be fenced off while the contents of the house are packed into barrels within the housing area. No players or pets will be able to enter the fenced are while the contents are being packed. Players may not teleport into the fenced area while the contents are being packed.
