Housing changes?

[Ripplinger]

Possibly I missed an update, but all my houses now say "This house is condemned and somewhat worn" when a friend refreshes them. Was there a change (out of era) where the owners only can now refresh houses?

owner must refresh their own houses at least once per 6 months or it becomes condemned.

Ah ok, I don't think I've ever consciously done that before but must have. Not sure I ever remember that in original UO either, but thanks for the info, will be sure to do so from now on.

Thanks.
