Quick Question on Relinquishing House

[ZephyrMenodora]

Decided to remove the ball and chain of my house so I have more control over my sub money/time but would like some of the gil back.

Saw some very old threads that say I have to wait 45 days for the system to repo my house rather than removing it myself. These threads were very old - is this still the case? Those threads said you get back nothing if you demo the house yourself.

That is correct. You only get some gil back if your plot is autodemolished, baring any autodemo pauses, this happens when you didn't enter the house for 45 days. If you relinquish the house on your own, you get nothing back.

There is a third option, Home World Transfering to a Preferred+ world demolishes the house and gives you the gil back plus a little extra. Of course then you are on that world for at least 90 days and can only get off by paying money (or hoping the world statuses change favorably).

Thank you, this is very helpful to have confirmed. I'll have to try to remember not to visit my house for 45 days.

You can visit it, you just don't have to enter it. I remember a long time ago someone very upset about losing their house. "But I was at the yard/outside all the time!". Only entering resets the timer. Make sure to unfurnish it first, in case you forget about the NPC that keeps your stuff for a limited period.

Thanks for the additional tips. It helps my neighbor with a beautiful home quit and now that house was bought by someone who turned it into an eyesore so I don’t even want to be outside lol.

I once got a large house but had to transfer to Light data center. Demolished entire Large and got nothing back. So yeah, be careful. It needs to be auto-demolished, not by your doing.
