<p>My friend saw same text after he didn't pay rent for house (he lost his flat). He couldn't buy new house (it was like ban for auction for 1-2 weeks). You can have only one house per character and 3 houses per account.</p><blockquote><p>"Also, account. <strong>EDIT: </strong>Now you can be owner of <span style="background-color:#f4f4f4; color:#34495e; font-family:"Open Sans",Helvetica,Arial,FreeSans,sans-serif">3 houses on the same character</span></p><blockquote><p>"Also, keep in mind that there are restrictions: only Premium players can rent or bid for houses, and<strong> they cannot rent more than</strong> <strong>one house per game world.</strong> Furthermore, <strong>no more than three characters from the same account can rent houses</strong> at a time. <strong>If one character is a guild leader, the player can also rent one guildhall, even if he has rented three houses already.</strong> Needless to say, guildhalls can only be rented by guild leaders. Finally, please note that you can only bid on or buy one house at a time and that the character you are using to get a house must have left Dawnport or Rookgaard."</p></blockquote><p><strong>Source: </strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/gameguides/?subtopic=manual&section=houses">https://www.tibia.com/gameguides/?subtopic=manual&section=houses</a></p>
