Saw a documentary recently mentioning that in England people in the King or Queens favour would often be graced with the use of an appartment in one of the Monarchs palaces. Got the term Grace and Favour residences.
Anyway, could be entertaining if Templars where able to show their favour by gifting the use of a Royal appartment. The Royal appartments would vary in luxuriousness with the dergee of favour in which the recipient is held.
-Take your enemies to your Grace and Favour appartment to rub their faces in your good fortune.
-Bitterly plot against your neighbour who has a slightly better view.
-Gossip about so-and-so who used to have one of the appartments.
For Templars:
-Hold it out as a reward to underlings.
-Hold its removal over underlings as a threat.
-Spread a dropclothe over the carpet and disappear people in style.
-Keep your enemies right where you can watch them...
VERY AWESOME IDEA!
It's a thought. But I doubt it's much of a consideration for nobles since they already have something like this.
Still, I could see this happening.

I think the OP meant as something for their favored servants/partisans. Which would be nice, as most of the good apartments are in the Warrens, not a good place to put up your favored partisans.

-Hold its removal over underlings as a threat. Invite underlings inside and kill them.
-Spread a dropclothe over the carpet and disappear people in style. Invite people inside and kill them.
-Keep your enemies right where you can watch them... Invite your enemies inside and kill them.
Fixed.

Call it The Grindhouse.
Off topic: Don't do the "ahah! I locked the door and now I can kill you" routine. It's lame.
And for the love of Krath, please, PLEASE don't go into your long boring lecture of what your going to do and how; giving the person enough time to wriggle out of thier bonds and feel a sense of false hope. ;D
I think the idea is neat, but it can be done perfectly well IG through a partisan/patron relationship where one of the terms of service is paid lodgings in a preexisting Nenyuki apartment. Many nobles won't bring commoners into their actual mansions, and space is at a premium for building extra apartments in most estates, templar, GMH, and nobles alike.
Hmm, when I saw the idea I thought of it more as an apartment block where only a templar/noble could rent, and then they could add on the other person as a co-renter. Thus giving them the ability to kick them out whenever, as well as making sure no simple commoners could come in and rent up all the rooms...
Every time I read grace and favour I think it is reference to a different game.
Like there used to be one big game that got some multiple personality disorder then completely split into two
- Good Arm love, trust grace and favour A luscious land full of resources and friendly magikal creatures to help you be a better person
- Bad Arm lying, distrust murder and all around evil. The wonderful evil stinky arm we know and love
there is a reason clans offer food, water, shelter... that is "favored"
I've only had one PC who, even though he was in a clan, actually rented his own apartment -- and that was a specific IC reason as opposed to me/player wishing to have my own space.
