[FR] Residential house acting as rental (Showing residential on map)

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.2020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Tiny Living, Snowy Escape, Seasons, Romantic Garden, Paranormal, Outdoor Retreat, My First Pet, Luxury Party, Laundry Day, Jungle Adventure, Island Living, High School Years, Greenhouse Haven kit, Fashion street kit, Everyday clutter kit, Eco lifestyle, For Rent, Dream Home decorator, Discover university, desert luxe, city living, cats & dogs, book nook kit, blooming rooms kit,
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load into 1 Tam Nang Sands in Tomarang and play/build while the house is classed as a residential
What happens when the bug occurs? My residential house seems to be partially registering as a residential rental. I own the house, and I have no landlord, but my mailbox is showing an option to "give notice to move", and when my bills arrive I get the 24hrs to pay rent pop-up, and now on Harvestfest I'm not able to put up decorations because it's saying I don't own the lot.
What do you expect to see? A house classed as a residential lot not showing residential rental features.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

This is the house that was originally on Hothotok Shore, I moved it to 1 Tam Nang Sands because I wanted the bigger lot to be able to add a pool. The lot (1 Tam Nang) was previously classed as a residential rental, but I changed it when I moved this house over and did some construction - it has never been classed as a rental since then. The family purchased it normally with no real estate cheats, and moved from a residential (not rental) house in the other neighbourhood in Tomarang. Ever since then, this house is still showing as a residential, and my bill information says nothing about a tenant agreement or rent, but the mailbox always has an option for "give notice in writing" and now I can't decorate because I apparently don't own the house? It's clearly not fully registering as either a rental or a residential, and it's very frustrating. I'm having issues moving out of this house and keeping my inventory (other thread here) so I'm wondering if that's what's going wrong?

@fancyfeet711 How is the lot shown on the map ?

There's a thread here for lots stuck on residential rental: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FR-Rental-Residential-Lots-Break-When-Switching-to-Residential... .. does that differ from yours ?

@crinrict, it's showing as a normal residential on the map. I hadn't switched the house between the two, I only switched the lot when I demolished the previous house off it (and before my family moved into it).

@fancyfeet711 Going to leave this separate I guess but it could be related to the other issue.

I once changed the type of lot to for rent, but after some time I decided to change it to residential.
The game still thinks that it is a for rent lot.
I can pay my rental bills. Also apear NPC "landlord".

Sorry for the tag.

I have found that once a lot has been deemed Residential Rental it will always have Residential Rental problems not matter what lot type I change to.

I'm putting this here because I think these bugs are related: my sims are currently living on a residential lot that was formerly a residential rental, and every time I load into the lot it gives me notifications that I've broken the rental rules (too many sims & noise during night), even though the lot is just a residential lot and should not have any rules. This also gives one of my Sims the "Fear of Eviction", which is annoying because I have to use UI Cheats to remove it every time she gets this nonsensical fear. Also, the option for me to pay bills is kinda bugged on that lot as well: it gives me multiple options that say "Pay Bills" when bills are due, one with the accurate bills number and one with a slightly lower number. All of these bugs seem to stem from the fact that the game still thinks the lot is a residential rental even when it's not, which is why I'm putting this under this thread.
