Relinquish was intended for people who 'choose' to leave it, reclamation was intended for people who 'did not choose' to leave it but lost it anyways.
Unfortunately then that boils down to saying people who subscribe every month are not allowed to use the housing system that in reality, is freely available to all users.

So... it's only for people who don't sub for 1-2 months for various reasons that may or may not be in their control? I do not think that is logical at all.

In reality its a perk to keep people subscribed.
