Following the earthquake in Turkey and Syria on February 6, Final Fantasy XIV has suspended housing demolition on all servers. The decision was published on the official Lodestone website and on social media.
Automatic housing demolition will be disabled starting on February 9, 2023, at 9:25am PT. Usually, if an estate or Free Company leader hasn't entered their lot within 45 days, the estate on that lot is demolished and returned to the pool. However, in exceptional circumstances, automatic housing demolition has been disabled.
Automated housing demolition was only reinstated in January 2023 when the Covid 19 epidemic began on December 5, 2021, and continued until the Ukrainian invasion in 2022.
Square Enix hasn't given a date that house demolition will resume, but given their excessive caution last time, don't expect it to take longer than a few months. What was originally scheduled to be a several-month absence in 2021 turned into a full year of no demolition.
