The Tenants

Gets repetitive but fun for a while.

Cannot even complete the tutorial. It will not recognize any of the mirrors.

I enjoy it because its endless mindless entertainment that helps me pass time without having to think too much. I already have a few hours recorded on it. If you're looking for an actual management sim/mentally engaging, I wouldn't say this game is for you.

It was extremely buggy in the free trial / demo --- and it's just as buggy now.

With no updates in site, and a game full of bugs -- Don't buy this.

The game play isn't even satisfying as all freedom of choice/decor and even the placement is dictated to you.

I wish I didn't play it for as long as I did, because I'd refund this in a heartbeat.

This game has so much to it, I was surprised. I mainly wanted it for the renovating. It's neat to also manage your tenants, but sometimes it can be a lot. I play on my steam deck with no issues.

I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but on the contrary, haha. As soon as I moved to the suburbs from the Slum, I was so hooked that I already have a few hours recorded on it. Interesting graphics, the normal tasks are often repeated but that's how it is. Special events and missions come along with the quests. I can really relax while doing it, great for me.

I really dont understand where all the negative comments are coming from. This game and the DLC was a great price and well worth the money! I have played 7 hours and it has not crashed once. Also, there is tons of amazing content and is just super chill. I love playing this game when I get home from work and chill. The pet DLC I love .. I can rescue animals from the streets and let tenants adopt them!!! AMAZING!

I loved this game initially but I can't recommend it in it's current state. The game is stuck in limbo as the publisher and developer are resolving some unnamed dispute while the DLC introduced gamebreaking bugs. Once the game is supported and updated again, I'll update my review. The devs have stated their intent to fix the game at a currently unknown date, and I look forward to it.

I have run into so many issues with this game. I was enjoying it a lot but I've started over due to errors at least 3 times and so many aspects of the game do not work for me. If the developers ever get back and start listening to the discussion issues, I would purchase this again. I have requested a refund at this point.

fun game,lots to do,no issues on my end

Don't find this game fun to play, I find it extremely tedious. The menu's are hard to fathom, the rooms are too small for what you have to put in them and also the clients don't give enough money for even the cheapest stuff. Someone out there likes this game I know, but just not me, just glad I didn't pay much for it. Sorry Frozen District. House Flipper was great, don't have 2 can't afford it. This is a no for me.

Love the game. Very nice when one wants to just lean back and relax. Would enjoy having less notifications on the owners phone so that i don't need to really click on it every 2.5 seconds to see if it is a tenant request or a payment. I;ve been avoiding playing it purely bcoz of the overwhelm of the phone notifications. Pls fix mrs devs. Thanks <3

Was it worth the $5 I paid for it? Sure, I probably got $5 of entertainment out of it. It's frustrating to see the game that it could have been staying just out of reach though.

Come on man, this game isn't that hard... The tutorial is not thorough enough in the beginning that you know everything there is to know at first. My only complaint would be this: the game takes you by the hand very slowly, step by step, when in fact it should just tell you point blank the big lines of the game, then let you fiddle with the menus until you get going.

It's like a puzzle game mixed with the furniture placement part of The Sims games. It's super fun, a casual experience.

First couple of hours in, I'm going for more.

I really dont understand where all the negative comments are coming from. This game was a great price and well worth the money! its never crashed, has tons and tons of content and is just super chill. I love the mechanics of it and all the characters are so fun, plus the pet DLC means I can rescue doggos from the streets and let tenants adopt them, whats more to love!

I haven't played very long, but so far I've spent way too much time renovating rooms (not my thing...) and not nearly enough time managing a business. Making money seems to be trivially easy, just tedious... And now I ran into a bug that makes finishing the current renovation impossible. Meh.

This game is unfinished and I believe will remain so.

it is buggy.

also beery repetitive at times. i did enjoy it at times...

it had so much potential and i wished more for it.

I genuinely did enjoy this game. If you like decorating and interior design, that's pretty much the whole premise. Sometimes rooms are labeled as puzzles which are a bit more challenging, but overall the gameplay is rather repetitive and can become tedious, but I know with a lot of management sims that can be the case.

What makes me unable to recommend this is the lack of updates and support due to issues with the developer (from what I understand). The achievements are now impossible to 100% due to the "Community Champions" trophy being unable to complete since events are no longer in process. After finding this out I feel like I'm not really making any "progress" and lost a lot of the motivation I had to keep playing. If this doesn't matter to you maybe you'll have a better time than me!

i liek the gaem

Won't even start. Keeps crashing. And no updates or patches in over a year. I didn't play for a while after I bought it so too late to get a refund and now I'm stuck with an unplayable game. If you want to try it out, try it right away so you can get a refund if the game won't run for you. Otherwise, don't waste your money on this broken game.

I dont really wright reviews but I just thought this game was really cool! I enjoy the art style and the gameplay is fun and not stressfull, I also really enjoy that you can decorate how you want and it feels kinda realistic at the same time.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the game. Has some fun modeling jobs and a bit of competitive. Not much space to put most items tenets are wanting which is a bummer. Also to many things a tenet will end up complaining about lol. Overall I have enjoyed playing since I like the games were you remodel and just relax but I don't see myself playing as much as I would like to play but will keep installed so those moments I want to do a job .

Abandonware

The gameplay did not meet my expectations. It feels boring, and placing items is clunky and inefficient. Additionally, the renovation requests and overall game environment don't make sense to me and make frustrated, which makes the experience unenjoyable.

I just can't bring myself to enjoy this game, even though I really want to. The biggest flaw for me is the annoying puzzle aspect the devs shoved in: you're expected to perform renovations that consist on cramming objects into tiny rooms. I don't know how this works later on the game, but at the beginning it feels impossible, without even taking aesthetics into consideration.

Some other things just feel ridiculous as well, like having to keep your tenants happy by doing things like hiring masseuses and giving them gifts, like lol?? Nevermind having to clean the unit for them, while they're actively living in it. Is that something landlords do in whatever country this was made in? To me it's something out of an utopian movie and makes me want to laugh.
Also, as pointed out by previous reviews, a lot of the mechanics are just slow paced and boring (the uncle's speed is atrocious and dialogues can't be skipped), especially the property auctions.

If you're looking to decorate nice apartments or manage several properties, there are games that excel in each aspect. Not worth paying for this weird mash that's mid at best.

Not what I expected

pretty chill game and easy to understand, also very easy to get addicted to

fix ur own faucet ffs im busy building a flat

Cozy game. I have had this game since Early Access. It is quite addictive. If you like to manage and to decorate, this game might be it.

pretty fun game if you like management sims. kudos to developer.

Very fun and freedom game.

lack of explanation as to what am i supposed to do next in a TUTORIAL is beyond me.

I enjoyed building and managing the properties. Buy it if you want a small management sim game to play for a few days. It's worth it especially on sale. I like that tenants can have personality traits, and can be given gifts.

Though I don't think I'll play it longer because the special missions that helped unlock new items were repetitive. Also, I learned that being careful about what you put down it's actually that important (no need to center anything, and very little furniture must be placed with other furniture), so I just began to throw the required items in a room and it ruined the fun of meticulously crafting a pretty room for a client.

I purchased both the Tenants and the DLC, Pets. Gameplay is fun if a bit repetitive after a while. Mostly designing and decorating small apartments, to earn money to purchase your own, to fix up and rent out. I like that aspect. The decorating seems to place an emphasis on decorating and using small objects to enhance the "lived in" feel of a home. For example adding toilet paper, a plunger, and toilet brush to every toilet, or books to bookshelves. I find myself playing for an hour or two at a time before moving on.

I do regret buying the DLC and would not recommend it. Pets adds tasks which are more annoying than fun, like searching the entire slum for 10 stunned and dazed parrots, or figuring out how to use the mouse to "stroke" a lost pet, fix their leg, and then try to get them adopted. Meh, I could deal with less direct interaction for the pets. I do like that the tenants can have pets but in early game, when the apartments are small and cramped, there is very little room to add items pets need.

honestly i've enjoyed it. it might not be for everyone but i think its fun.

Messy, tedious, and frustrating in ways I didn't know were possible. I was really looking forward to playing this when I picked it up during the winter sale but it's not even worth the discounted price. The tutorials are nearly useless and half of the time spend "renovating" builds is fiddling with item placement to make the game happy with how accessible furniture is. Maybe the creative game mode is more worth while but the main story mode is not for me.

Love that you can decorate rooms and have to follow what the people want but can move things around to make it look like what you want.

great game

a few bugs but really cute

Buggy mess I got tired restarting the game just to go through the tutorial

I love the gameplay of Tenants! It's fun to design houses and rooms, while also managing tenants and buying properties. I can play for hours and never get bored!

it just isnt that good. maybe i didnt give it enough time? i like sims
i like big ambitions.
why wouldnt i like this?
if you want a Simulator that you can be a relator, play the sims 4 with the rent dlc.

The dialog isn't actually skippable and most of the game so far has been watching this old man walk around slowly while you click on things for him to clean. Why is that such a large and slow part of this game?

Absolutely buy this. It is a simulation that allows full control of rental units. From renovation to evictions. Gifting the tenants to sabotage of the tenants. Highly recommend this game. First time I played it I streamed it on Twitch.

i love this game

The Tenants is chaotic, fun, and strangely addictive. It’s a love-hate relationship simulator with your tenants, and honestly, that’s what makes it shine. Where you get to live out your dream of being a landlord without the real-world headaches of broken boilers, angry phone calls, or tenants "forgetting" to pay rent. Instead, you get a charming, oddly addictive sim that makes property management feel... fun?

10/10, would renovate another bathroom only for my tenant to complain that it’s "too shiny."

I wanted to enjoy this but I didnt. The UI of this game is so overwhelming when it doesnt need to be. The game hand holds and railroads you so much that you dont really get to choose stuff. Decor is not fun and managing tenants is actually super basic and boring. The synopsis lead me to believe this was a much more interesting game. Theres so much potential.

This would be a great game... if it still worked. It no longer seems to get along with the workshop, and gets stuck in the "updating workshop items" part of the loading screen. Restarting the game (and Steam) a dozen times tonight, I got the game to actually start up once. It ran until I took a job, then crashed trying to load it. I'd really like to keep my workshop items, as the base game floors, walls, and furniture get old really fast.

I really liked it before these issues started for me, but it's been over a year since people started complaining about it, and still nothing.

A pretty fun game! It does get a bit repetitive after a while, but you'll still have many many hours of gameplay!
