I received an email notification that my personal house was due for auto-demolition in a few days, so I logged into the game to go into the house and reset the timer. However, no message regarding the estate no longer being regarded as abandoned was given. I checked my in-game timers and it still showed that my estate was still regarded as abandoned. I tried interacting with/placing/moving housing objects, re-logging, and even verifying game files to fix it.

I finally figured out that the error was tied to my tenancy in an inactive friend's personal house. Once I left the tenancy of their house, my housing timers were immediately showing all good.

Just to be sure I hadn't misread, I went back and checked both emails I had received regarding the demo and indeed, both emails listed the house set for demolition as MY house address, NOT theirs. That leads me to believe that my house was mistakenly flagged due to her estate's inactivity due to the tenancy link. I suppose it's also possible that it was an email error wherein their estate truly is the one flagged but I'm mistakenly receiving the notifications as if it were my house and they aren't receiving any notification other than the heads up that I gave them myself once I figured it out.

Though I've managed to resolve the issue on my own now after no small amount of panicking, I wanted to report the bug so that it might be looked into or at least maybe someone else with the same issue might find this and solve their own issue.
