My best fix to this issue is putting a "BoolValue" in the player. When it's checked it can mean that the player has a house. You can use an "if" statement in your script to check if it's false to allow the player to buy the house. Something like the following from your code:

if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and currentowner.Value == "" and player:FindFirstChild("OwnsHouse").Value ~= true then
    --Your other code (insert something that changes the value to false "player:FindFirstChild("OwnsHouse").Value = false")
end

If you have any questions or issues, please contact me. ;)

You can leave your script where it is considering that you can already get the player with your script. Just keep reading everything that I posted and you should be fine. lazycoolboy500 597 — 5y
