You actually can do that, if the player does not exist anymore.
Giving cityowners the ability to remove ownership in rooms would make living
in other peoples cities way too hazardous, it will not happen.

How would this make it way too hazardous.

Player A gives Player B 5,000,000 gold to live forever in Player B's safe,
secure pcity.

Player B gives Player A a room. Player A moves into the room, placing many
guards and all of his expensive eq in unlocked chests.

Player B removes Player A's ownership, by default becomes the sole room owner,
strolls harmlessly past the guards and loots Player A's stuff.

The fact of the matter is, while many of you own your own cities, a lot of you
also rent. And, while many of you are honest, some of you are right bastards.
Allowing pcity owners to remove room ownership whenever they want for whoever
they want _will_ lead to exactly this sort of thing, over and over.

Why didn't player A use all that money to build his own city? Also, shouldn't
the burden of not living with a bastard be on player A in his choice of
landlord and not player B in his lack of control over something he "owns". I
mean really, that's just silly. Limit player B even though he did nothing but
buy a city, just so that player A doesn't have to do the simple act of
thinking about who he rents from. silly.

a) I am pretty sure you missed the point.

b) Eq is serious business, and we, as wizards, will treat it seriously. If
that means limiting the 90% of honest landlords so that the dishonest 10%
can't steal the eq from their misled tennants, then so be it.

c) If I have to choose who bears the burden, the landlord (deciding who to
rent to) or the tennant (deciding who to rent from) I will go with the
landlord. Being rich enough to buy their own city implies they're more
experienced than the player without enough money to buy their own city, and
therefore, one would assume more experienced with The Ways of Bat. Also, there
are fewer of them.

I now consider this matter closed. Nobody is going to give any pcity owner the
right to kick out any _active_ player just because he feels like it. It will
lead to problems, and you all know this. Now, we might go over the definition
of "active player" later, but carte blanche ability to evict whoever, whenever
will not happen.

Make it so you can remove names of players who have not logged on in 5+ years.
