If you do not put enough money in the daily rent to cover each day, then your agency will be closed down because you fall two days behind rent.

To have an agency, means you are renting an office, and that costs money daily! So even if you have a lot of money on your detective, if you phsyically do not deposit money from your detective, to the agency safe, you will end up being shut down due to lack of funds in the actual agency safe. It's an automatic thing that when turnver happens (the time we get new cases) the server will automatically take money out of your agency to pay the rent.

Hope that helps, good luck!

Thanks a lot..That it's mean that before I live the town I have to be sure that I let enough money in the agency's safe for covering all the days that I'll be out of town,or that I have to come back daily before I logout..At least now I understand why I received that mail..:(

I'm gonna strongly suggest you stick around town until you've built up enough funds to have enough money in the bank to keep yourself afloat, and have AT LEAST a month's rent in the safe before you take off again. Agencies (and detectives) are at their most vulnerable when they're first starting out, and many agencies don't make it past the first six months, especially when they start out with less than $50,000 in their safe.

Good luck, Murphis.

I also hope you didn't have anything you really liked in your Equipment Locker either, cause it went *poof* when the clock struck twelve. (Another reason to try and keep the place going....)
