Feature Showcase: Leasing Overhaul

General Information:

First and foremost, Property Management and specifically from myself want to thank everyone for having patience on this update and I personally want to thank every developer and PM member that got involved in this, that goes without saying; Property Management welcomes the overhaul in Leasing.

Over the last couple of months (5) leasing has undergone some drastic changes - we've implemented in-game leasing, removing the application stage for vehicles that exist in the game. In addition to that, we've worked on having the following in-game: Containers, Storage Units, Offices & Mall spaces. That and why it took so long was due to extensive testing not only on the UCP but in-game, rectifying bugs, and making sure we can get this as clean as possible.

Furthermore, after extensive discussion about the mall with not only property management leads but the rest of the team, we will be removing applications for mall stores, you can now lease them as you would offices etc. Removing the application process - you can open up a store within the mall. This is an attempt to revive and bring more activity to it.

Lastly, with the above being achieved, the highly anticipated vehicle leasing is also here. What's new with it you might ask? It doesn't look like much at first glance as the vast majority of it was admin-sided. A lot of new features to make this what it is today. The possibility for PM to now add and take away vehicles for lease is here, to add categories later down the line is now here, and to adjust pricing is now here. The application for players has been revamped in a sense where we felt some questions were seeing a repetitive pattern such as "Vehicle plans" - as we all know everyone's plans are... to drive the car.

All in all, we've made some great changes with this and we're welcoming the new and improved leasing system. The TLDR for those who did not wish to read the above is:
