This was discussed on the moderated circle list a couple of
weeks ago :)
There are several ideas, mine was to basically copy the
house commands, making them inn commands and setting a
ROOM_PLR_INN flag which gets set on the player's inn.
Then when the player logs back on, check if they are logging
on in a PLR_INN, and if so, instead of just sending the rent
money to the void, send it to the owner's bank account.
Actually, you'd probably only want to send a fraction of it
(say 10%-20%) to their bank, since some of it goes to taxes,
some of it to maintainence, some of it to wages of inn
employees, etc.
Of course, you'd have to add a few new commands, like on to
let the owner set a rent rate.
