Which means the bank has the property with the title deed until it is payed. When it isn't mortgaged of course! Because when it is mortgaged, the property is sold 50% to the bank(creditor or lender). Yes the word is OWNED, and what makes an individual owned a property?įirst you bought the property, you received it with the title deed. In the sentence focus even more on the second word. If owned, throw dice and pay owner a total ten times the amount thrown." If unowned, you may buy it from the Bank. First, let us look and understand the chance card. Now I know that you're asking questions already but hear me out. Yes dear reader you are not supposed to pay the rent in that chance card. I'd rule for option 2: that the payment is intended to be a rent, and that mortgages should be respected. the Railroad card doubles normal rent and respects mortgages.the Railroad card seems intended as a parallel.there's no other property which can still earn when mortgaged.there's no other card which prevents rent payment.the dice reroll seems designed to resolve that rental problem.the precedent "rent is unaffected unless stated" won't work here.the precedent "card fees aren't rent" won't work here.Is it changing that rent to a different amount, or is it getting rid of it entirely and replacing it with a taxi-fare to get there instead? So the card must be stopping the normal rent from happening. No other card (such as "Go back 3 spaces") can cause you to land on a utility, so it's just this card one which has this issue. The dice you rolled took you to Chance, and you were sent to the utility by a card! $4x0 would be zero rent. When reaching Utilities by this card, if the property is owned and unmortgaged, the rent cannot be calculated as normal, using $4x, as you arguably did not roll dice to get there. Over and above the harshness of getting fined twice for a single event, there is a bigger problem. Option 1 is the only option you can go for, if you are arguing by the first two precedents, that card fees are not rent or that rents are normal unless specified.Įssentially, you are arguing that the fee is a fare to get there, rather than a rent to stay there.Īnd yet, nobody is arguing for this option. The possible interpretations that I can see, are:ġ) The card's fee is in addition to the rental mechanism you roll dice to calculate the fee, and also separately calculate the rent, if the property is unmortgaged.Ģ) The card's fee modifies the rental mechanism you never pay normal rent, and only pay the fee (as rent) if unmortgaged.ģ) The card's fee replaces the rental mechanism you never pay normal rent, but you always pay the fee, whether mortgaged or not. If Railroad is unowned, you may buy it from the bank." "Advance token to the nearest Railroad and pay the owner twice the rental to which he/she is otherwise entitled. This card sets the (far weaker) precedent: terms for buying unowned spaces are restated, if the rental terms are also modified on the same card. Only one other card directs movement to an ownable square. My initial point of view was based on these two precedents. "Go Back 3 Spaces" "Advance to St Charles' Place" "Advance to Illinois Ave" "Take a trip to Reading Railroad". These cards set the precedent: buying or renting rules are unaffected unless stated. The following cards direct movement which could land you on an owned position, without giving instructions about rent to be paid, nor what may/should be done if the property is unowned. Community Chest: "Doctor's fees" "Pay Hospital fees of $100" "Pay school fees of $150" "You are assessed for street repairs". "Make general repairs on all your property" "Pay poor tax of $15" "You have been elected the Chairman of the board - Pay each player $50". The following cards levy fines, but are not considered "rent" for being on the Chance/Community Chest square, and hence set the precedent: card-based fees are not rent. But thinking about it, I've been forced to change my mind. Not for children under 3 years.I was initially on the side of "it's not a rent" (so is unaffected by mortgage state). ⚠️ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.
