Other players, even if tenants, can't reset the demo timer. Only entry by the owner will do that.

Tenants can remove furnishings if given that permission. I've got that arrangement with a friend who will sometimes decide to take long breaks so I can grab his valuable furnishings if he decides not to return before demolition (hasn't happened yet but he's cut it close a couple of times). Not every player has close friends playing on their server to set that up, though.

This is another suggestion that's been made several times by players - let entry by tenants reset demo timers. Supposedly part of the reason for allowing tenants in personal houses was so players could share a house and hopefully reduce overall demand for the limited resource. It doesn't work too well since the tenant will lose access if the owner can't play for 45 days. They might able to salvage furnishings if they have some place to store them but they'll no longer have a house to use. Many players end up wanting their own house as a result.
