Short version: Furnish an empty room (the first prompt offers a bed, shower and toilet bundle), find a tenant, then collect rent. Rent grows with the furniture, and upgrading shops and the utility shed lets the town grow. Levelling up needs a short goal list, and each level unlocks new tenants and building slots.

Step 1 · 0:57
Furnish the first room
On screen: Buy essentials
- On an empty room the first prompt offers a starter bundle: a bed, a shower and a toilet (128 coins in the footage).
- The same panel lists furniture packages of 29 pieces, so you can furnish a room in one tap or piece by piece.
Step 2 · 4:54
Upgrade the utility shed
On screen: Maple Utility Shed · power and water
- The shed supplies power and water to homes and shops. Upgrading it takes a short build timer.
- The panels show an Express Builders button for Robux; construction continues while you're offline.
Step 3 · 6:52
Find a tenant
On screen: Tenants window
- Each prospective resident has a card with a job, a budget and the things they love. Some arrive with a pet, and a room that doesn't allow pets greys the button out.
- A Future residents list shows locked tenant types and the level each needs.
Step 4 · 10:49
Collect rent from furnished rooms
On screen: Resident panel
- Furnished rooms sit above the street shops. The resident panel shows comfort, services, amenities and satisfaction bars, with buttons to move the tenant or ask them to leave.
- Before anyone moves in, a room panel shows the potential rent from its furniture (128 coins a minute in one frame).
Step 5 · 16:44
Keep shops from queueing
On screen: Shop panel
- Shops on the street level show customers served, revenue, wages and profit.
- One panel warns that demand is higher than capacity and the checkout queue is too long, with an upgrade under construction.
Step 6 · 18:42
Grow the town
On screen: Several blocks, a park and a beachfront
- Late in the run the town fills out into apartment towers, a park with a fountain and a beach.
- In the footage the coin balance reads 37,249 with income of 8,687 a minute.

Beginner tips
- Furnish first, then find a tenant: the resident panel is where comfort and satisfaction show up.
- Upgrade a shop when its queue gets long. That's the game's own help text.
- Upgrades take real time, and the panels say the property keeps earning 25% of its income for up to 16 hours while you're away.
- The Roblox description doesn't mention codes, and we couldn't confirm a code box. See the codes page, and don't use codes from Rent Please! Landlord Sim.
