They just put ur house in "private ward".

The thing is, why devs cant implement hybrid housing system, where ur large, medium or small house is placed in a "virtual" space, which can be accessed only via FC/frend list, or in a special list, while u are online (hello SWTOR).
But in addition to this u can pay extra to get ur house "published" in a ward, like today's system.
Aaand when u gone for 3 month, ur house is being moved back to "private" area, instead of being deleted. Instead of fully deleting ur housing progress to absolute zero.
