Im having a few issues with my code, im using BlueJ, but i want to use a
while or for loop for the methods: startRentingHouse and stopRentingHouse.
But i dont have a good idea of how to go about it as i havent used them
before, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

public class Landlord
{
    private int numberOfHouses; //integer field for number of houses the
landlord may have
    private int spendingMoney; //Money a landlord has to spend on houses
    private House[] houses = new House[20]; //Array for the houses to
rent, the landlord can have a maximum of 20 homes
    

   public Landlord()
  {
      numberOfHouses = 0;
      spendingMoney = 1000000;
  }
    
 
  public Landlord(int savings)
  {
      numberOfHouses = 0;
      spendingMoney = savings;
  }
    
 
  public int getMoney()
  {
    return spendingMoney;
  }
    

  public House[] getHouses()
  {
    return houses;
  }
    
    
    
 
  public int getNumberOfHouses()
  {
    return numberOfHouses;
  }
    
    

   public void purchaseHouse(House house)
  {
    if(spendingMoney >=house.getPurchasePrice() && numberOfHouses < 20) {

    houses[numberOfHouses] = house;
    numberOfHouses = numberOfHouses + 1;
    spendingMoney = spendingMoney-house.getPurchasePrice ();
    
    
} else {
        System.out.println("You are unable to buy anymore houses!");
    }
    
  }

  public void startRentingHouse(String postcode, int number, Tennant

    return total;
