It goes without saying that any adventurer in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a house. After all, one does get tired of the Innkeeper dragging one’s drunken self back to one’s room by the ear each night lecturing the entire time about how clothes aren’t optional in the common areas.

Getting Your Free Apartments
There is a poster usually the bank of the first starter city in each alliance (Daggerfall, Davon’s Watch, and Vulkhel Guard) and the major cities of each chapter (Vivec City, Alinor, Rimmen, Leyawiin, Gonfalon Bay, etc. ). It will direct you to the nearest Inn. Once there, there will be the owner of the Inn who will offer you a free room. Complete the dialog and the Inn room will be yours.
Notes:
You can’t buy one of the starter Inn rooms in the base game unless you belong to the same faction. For example, Ebonheart Pact players can get the Ebonheart room but not the one in Vulkhel Guard or Daggerfall.
You can only have one house free house per character. Use alts to obtain houses in the other areas. Otherwise, you can purchase them for a some sum of gold.
