Leave of Absence

Members may take a Leave of Absence (LOA) when they believe they will be temporarily unable to be active on Habbo. Taking a Leave of Absence ensures that your badges are not removed if you do not log in for an extended period. It may also ensure that your positions in your Units are secure, given the length of your leave.

IMPORTANT: Please read the rules before applying. If your application doesn’t follow them, it will be rejected.

LOA Policy

General Rules

  • Members must request their LOA at least 3 days before the start date, unless they get direct permission from Foundation. This also applies to extension LOAs.

  • Requests must include a valid reason for leave.
  • Your request may be declined if any errors are found in your application.
  • Abusing the LOA system may lead to disciplinary action.

  • During LOA, profiles must remain public with visible online status. Failure to comply will result in badge removal.
  • You cannot apply for another In-Base LOA within 30 days of your last one. For example, if your previous LOA ended on January 1st, the next one can start on February 1st.
