Wife and I were looking to lease a solar system locally, but sadly our use-case includes a minimum requirement of nine planets.

Whether you lease or buy, don't settle for anything less than a full complement of planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteors, and comets. You should also have it inspected first. You want to be sure it will last and won't get sucked into a supermassive blackhole.
Along the same lines, it reminded me of Denis Hope's lunar real estate shenanigans

Too bad you aren't living in a nine planet system anymore.
If the gravitational effects leading to inferences of a large extra-neptunian object were a “primordial black hole” would it still count as a planet?

But if not a planet, then what? Scholtz suspects it could be something even more exotic: a primordial black hole, one forged in the big bang.
