These estates have been developed for the enjoyment of people wishing to lease land and build their own home or business within Second Life® . This Covenant helps to ensure that each of our residents have a trouble free time whilst they are here and that the Class 5 server resources are fairly distributed. Our community means everything to us - this covenant is written in conjunction with the help of our current residents.
HMI Estates are not owned or operated by Linden Lab®. If you lease land from HMI you are entering into a contract in which you agree to:
- Pay a monthly land maintenance fee (Lease payment) to HMI Island Estates via Linden$ / PayPal subscription or mutually agreed alternative.
- Accept and comply with this HMI Island Estates Residential Region Covenant.
To take possession of land - use the BUY LAND button. The land will be set as owned by you (with full parcel permissions) but in reality you are LEASING the land from us. The purchase price is inclusive of and the same as one months rent/lease. The land cannot be resold by the person who buys it. If you choose to pay via PayPal please IM Loco Mycron or Dino Hallard - the parcel can then be set for you to buy the land for zero L$ in-world.
Land belonging to HMI Island Estates is privately zoned, which means that you do not need a Premium Account to lease land from us and land leased or purchased through us will not count as land held through Linden Lab®.
Lease payments in Linden$ are accepted or a PayPal subscription for the lease payment can be set up for you upon your request. IM or email Loco Mycron or Dino Hallard hmi.islands@gmail.com.
PayPal Subscription is a secure way to pay. A monthly payment which covers you for 30 days is applied when you first subscribe. Recurring payments will from then on be automatically invoiced to you every 30 days. Your subscription will be cancelled when you decide to vacate the property. HMI never sees or requests your private financial information. All payment transactions take place on secure PayPal websites. PayPal will auto-direct you to the PayPal service in your region of the world.
Any land with an outstanding payment may be re-claimed by HMI. Please notify us in-world or by email to avoid this outcome. We will understand if a payment is going to be late but would appreciate knowing in advance.

Please IM or email Loco Mycron or Dino Hallard immediately after leasing a parcel or region.
