Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
Just count 90 days from the day the account closes. When that time comes close just look for the house to start to decay. When it does, just renew the account and he'll be fine. It's a bit risky, but it works.
I think the problem is people dont realize they are talking about different things. My understanding is If you Close your account your house decays immediately. If you place a new house your house decays immediately. If you let your account payment lapse the your house has approximately 90 days assuming they havent turned housing on or off in the code during that timer period. The 90 days is NOT an exact science 60 days is a much safer number if you have things you dont want to lose.
Oh and dont decline credit card charges at your bank or your account will be Banned!

When did this change happen?
I am not sure it ever changed.....again we are talking about going into account management site and actually closing the account..... not just cancelling credit card info or not buying a new gametime code.
90 days form the closure of the account date + 4 or 5 days for the decay cycle....nailed on
best play it safe to be fair and count 80/85 and u will be fine...but in all fairness loads people use the 90 day slide rule and few get caught out and thats usually bad mathmatics

Once the current subscription ends, you would be wise to re-subscribe by the 85th day if you do not want to run any risk of losing the housing plot. If you let it go beyond that, you are playing with fire and there are no guarantees. I've been told of houses dropping by the 87th day.
Yep, it is supposed to be 90 days!!
But just to be safe, reopen at the 85th!!
If you close your account right away, your house will NOT decay before 85-90 days!!

The 90 day system is absolutely trustable. The people who lost homes simply didn't make note of the 90th day. You can set your watch by how accurate this system is. The account management page is reliable too. I have no issues cancelling an account, receiving the email that I cancelled it, and the email on the day it actually does cancel. While I don't condone using the 90 day shuffle to save houses, if you write down the exact date that your account expires (not the date you cancelled it) your house will go into decah on exactly that day, and you can renew your account when it's greatly worn and it will refresh, never tested it on IDOC status though.
90 days from the day it "expired". You can close your account with time left on it, the clock doesn't start ticking until 90 days after it officially expires.
What Garth said. I've tested, and use this all the time. The only time I've ever had a problem was when I wasn't paying attention or not interested in keeping track. Just remember it's 90 days, not specifically 3 months. So if your account expires today, May 20th, your house will go into decay on August 18th. Not August 20th.

100% correct, You can close an account today, but the 90 days will Only count after the Account is Expired and Not closed
If you are going to play this 90 day game then you need to use a Julian Calendar http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/partners/fepp/julian-calendar.pdf and nothing else.
You should still keep track of when his account closes. If he's not able to open it within the 90 day time frame, you need to rescue his items. Once it starts to decay all friends and co-owner lists are cleared and the house turns private. You won't be able to rescue any of his stuff after that point.
