How do I buy the house in Riften?

Question

Who do I talk to to start the quest to buy the house in Riften? I have talked the Stewart, the Jarl and did a quest for the court mage and still no quest started. Do I have to kill the dragon behind Riften? Or is there some other way to do this.

Answer

This is done in three steps:

Step 1: Get into the good graces of the Jarl

How you do this is dependent on who controls the city during the Civil war:

  1. If you don't let the Imperials take control of the city, the Jarl will be Laila Law-Giver. You can win her favor by completing all parts of the miscellaneous objective that starts with Wujeeta at the Fishery.

  2. If the Imperials have taken control, you can win favor with the newly installed Jarl by speaking to them.

Step 2: Become a champion of the people of Riften

Once the Jarl trusts you, speak to him or her and they'll task you with helping the people of Riften. Completing five miscellaneous objectives or favors in Riften will complete this step.

Step 3: Handle Riften's drug problem

There are three miscellaneous objectives you need to complete: "Helping Hand", "The Raid", and "Supply and Demand". You might've already completed these as part of the first two steps.

Once complete, you can purchase your new home for a cool 8,000 gold.
