I did relinquish a personal house recently, having run into an unexpected feature of the new system where one of my characters is flagged because he bought the FC house, so none of my alts can bid on a FC house while he is in that FC. Relinquishing got me nowhere, because his personal house wasn't the issue. I just read the error message saying I owned too many houses and assumed it was.
Last lottery, I got lucky and got him another personal, but storing all his furniture until that happened was a pain and I really missed my house.

Edit: Do let us know how you get on!
I'm so sorry this happened to you too!

I presume you were bidding on an FC house and that's when you got the error? At the bidding point, not the purchase point? Just to see how similar the bug is. I've had people mention this one, which is why I removed all my characters from their FCs to try and fix it, is that what worked for you?

Yeah, I'm really scared to do it but storing furniture is not too much of a problem as my FC mates let me stash it all in the FC house storage which had plenty of space. That and my apartment storage. I've actually emptied the house pre-emptively so that if I go for it, I'm ready at the last minute. I don't mind too much as I want to re-do my interior anyway.

The main thing is I'll be sad to end up with no private plot if it fails. The problem is...if I don't try, I'll always wonder if it would have worked! XD
