These kind of things happen everywhere, all the time. This isn't a solution, it's a band-aid fix. The timer is too short. I won't argue that a timer needs to exist; it does. If you no longer play the game, you shouldn't be able to hold onto real estate like that. However, disasters, sickness and life events happen all the time and to expect that every player will play the game each month without fail if they have interest in keeping their house is a bit ridiculous.

I think the timer should be 3 months. This is the length of time most people buy their subs in and I think it leaves a lot more wiggle room for life. It's much more fair and it would prevent us from having to beg SE to pause the timer every time there's a disaster somewhere.
