In Cities: Skylines 2, Colossal Order is addressing high rent issues by eliminating virtual landlords. The game's new "Economy 2.0" update changes rent calculations and how upkeep costs are shared among tenants. With these updates, rent complaints are now based on household income, and buildings can deteriorate if not properly maintained. This overhaul aims to create a more balanced and realistic economic system within the game.

How does the removal of landlords affect gameplay in Cities: Skylines 2?

The removal of landlords means that building upkeep costs are shared equally by all renters, reducing high rent complaints. Buildings will now only show high rent notifications based on tenant income, and improper maintenance can lead to building collapse.
