I have never devoted myself to a public server before, so excuse my ignorance if these are silly questions. 

I'm considering creating a "town" and I would like to know how a successful "rental" system would work for homes.  How would you maintain tenants in regard to abandoned houses and things? 

Also, is it safe to not "claim" the entire building ground? I would claim certain areas that I absolutely didn't want anyone destroying, but what about the houses and such?

Lastly, is there anything else that is essential to know when creating a town? 

Thanks!
