I had a friend whose demolition timer did not reset even though he had been in his house the day before. One of my alts was tenant so I could see the demo timer was still active. I let him know and he was confused. He went into his house. It didn't reset. He logged out of the game then back in, re-entered his house. It didn't reset (I'm refreshing my alt's Estate timers while this is going on). At that point he interacted with his Summoning Bell and then Timers showed it reset to both of us.

I don't think it's intended to require interacting with an object but things can be bugged. Interacting with an object ends up a safety measure.
