Any schemes to help new players onto the property ladder?

Want to freeze your account for a few months because no content -> poof house gone (unless you have a friend you give access so he can keep the property "alive" by entering every 30 days).

Nope, tenants can't keep housing alive, only the original owner as seen in 3.1 patchnotes: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...23d123/#system

"Estates Subject to Demolishing
...
Private housing that has not been accessed by the owner within forty-five days"
