It's fixing the ability for people who got the 0 bug to claim their houses. They are allowing more time than normal which I think is usually 4 days for people to do this. I think the normal cycle is 5 days to bid and 4 days to claim your house then the next cycle will start.

If the housing lottery hadn't been halted, 17th May and 26th May would have been regular lottery start dates. 17th would have been not enough time. 26th will move us back into regular schedule.

Because you not getting to bid on your house is not the problem they were fixing, nor was anyone except you ever corncerned about that.
The problem was people who already had bid on a house and would've won didn't get their house. THAT was the problem and that's what they fixed.
