"Your sim is currently in this lot" when there is no sim on the lot.

I bulldozed a lot in Cooperdale, the sim living there has been evicted and there are no sims on the lot. When I go to the lot from manage worlds, straight it to build mode, and try to change the units on the lot (residential rental) the options are greyed out and if I hover over them I get the error "Your sim is currently in the unit". 

No mods/cc.

Let me know if I can provide any other info!

Yes the units are empty.

I have moved my sim in somewhere else and played with them on that lot. Still get the error!

Update: this happens on any lot in any world. Even an empty lot I've never been to before, if I go to it in build mode from Manage Worlds and switch the lot type to residential rental is says "Your sim is currently in this lot"

I followed the steps to back up and reset (https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/backing-up-and-resetting-the-sims-4/) so I could check with a totally new game, and still got the error
