    IMO you should be asking a couple of different questions:

    Why does SE allow an FC to own an a house that has less members than the number of signers needed to create it?

    Why isn't SE freeing houses that have less than four active subscriptions?

    As an FYI, you need four different players (and they can't be on the same account as the signer) and that implies that SE intended that there would be four subscriptions going to the FC. I'm generally fine with decoupling the FC housing checks from personal housing provided that the above two checks are made, and a system is in place that's hard to abuse so if someone really wants to throw money at it to get the multiple houses, they can. For that matter, the entire FC system needs to also check that one account isn't leader of more than one FC, and transferring leadership will fail if an account already has a character that's a leader of an FC. All of this should be on a per server basis btw.

    I just updated my post to address this prior to seeing yours. I totally agree.

    That is exactly what i had in mind. Any attempt to make an alt a leader in a FC should be null in void if that character already has his main or another alt as leader somewhere else on that server. A flag is placed on an account the minute a private purchase is made on a server preventing the purchasing of another private house by another character from that account. Similarly a flag needs to be put on that account the minute a character is made the leader of a FC preventing other characters from becoming leaders somewhere else.
