failing a leasing system what they need to do is at least allow tenants to reset the demo timer when they enter the property or something such.. thus a house could be safe even if the owner took a break as long as the tenants were using it.

maybe even have an auto transfer that if the owner doesn't return after 180 days the first tenant becomes the plot owner. or something.

if they fixed the tenanacy system you would find so many more players willing to share plots. and thus free up some plots for others to have there own house.

but when the devs repeatedly say "it's ok for players to take breaks" the games systems need to support that. and auto demolition simply doesn't.
45 days is plenty of time 180 is excessive. Housing is a finite resource with uses beyond a place to decorate, it provides in-game functionality for FC's, chocobos, and crafting. It's a resource paying customers should have access too, not something to sit around collecting dust for 6 months while you decide whether or not to come back next patch.
