This is actually worse than I thought it was. I thought the help window would at least mention demolition, even if it was vague about it. There's no question about it now. Considering your screenshots as well as the demolition timer being invisible for most of its duration, it's clear that demolition is treated as a hidden mechanic by SE.

Anyone who looks at the post this person made, and still tries to entirely blame OP for losing his house is in utter denial. No one can look at those screenshots and say that the game clearly states a house and the furniture inside can be automatically deleted without warning.

This makes me very sad and angry. Considering how all the other help messages in the game are constructed, it looks like it was a deliberate move by SE to hide information about demolition. There is no way anyone qualified in ui design could argue that all the essential information about housing is easy to find and is very clear.
