Alternatively, just remove the silly requirement to log in and enter your house to maintain it. Just having a paid subscription should be enough. This should be enough to sustain folks through unexpected periods of lost access of this kind.

I do not see any reason why SE should feel obligated to maintain the houses of folks who have left the game and maybe, might possibly, but who knows, come back. Better to demolish those houses and sell the properties to folks that are actually playing, in order to keep the neighborhoods from becoming ghost towns of empty homes.
