The house owner take a break. Can I take the house?

[Flareshin]

Hello, everyone.

I have a question.

I share a House with someone and that person would like to take a probably longer break from Final Fantasy. The person owns the house and I'm just a roommate.

Now both of us couldn't figure out what happens when the main owner comes over the 31 days. Do we both lose the house then? Will the house then be transferred to me? I hope that someone can help me there

Tenants cannot reset the timer so if the owner does not log into game and enter their house for 45 days the house will go poof.

Demolitions are off right now, but to cover all chances, if they are not coming back in time, you should take the furniture you really want to keep, or it could be lost.

If it is a personal house that you are a tenant of, the house will demolish after 45 days of inactivity (assuming auto demo is enabled) on the OWNER’s end. You will be able to see the demo timer, but you will not be able to reset it. You also can not be transferred ownership of a personal house.

If its a FC house, you will be passed leader after 35 days of your friend being inactive. You’ll also be able to reset the timer at any time.

Just to clarify: inactivity means not entering the house in 45 days - the house itself, not the yard! Even if the owner is still active and playing the game, if they dont enter their house it doesnt matter.

This is completely correct, although I just wanted to also clarify further that the demolition timer will only show up on the timers page (on the second tab) once it gets to 30 days of inactivity (owner not having entered house for personal house or any FC member for an FC house).

I don't know why they don't just make the timer visible all the timer, but that's just how they did it.

Not entering is wrong.

There are plenty of people who lose their homes because they just go in.

It's about interacting with the house: Bell, FC chest, etc.

No, entering is enough. I know I have reset the timer just by entering the house.
There are some reports that there is some kind of bug where the timer doesn't reset until you interact with something in the house, but that is not how it is supposed to work, and not how it normally works.

I feel like those people who said that are just do some fearmongering to be honest... Never I had report someone still losing a house because of not interacting inside the house.

I had a friend whose demolition timer did not reset even though he had been in his house the day before. One of my alts was tenant so I could see the demo timer was still active. I let him know and he was confused. He went into his house. It didn't reset. He logged out of the game then back in, re-entered his house. It didn't reset (I'm refreshing my alt's Estate timers while this is going on). At that point he interacted with his Summoning Bell and then Timers showed it reset to both of us.

I don't think it's intended to require interacting with an object but things can be bugged. Interacting with an object ends up a safety measure.
