Frequently Asked Questions
What does one month of vacancy really cost?
Lost rent + turnover costs: cleaning, paint, repairs, leasing fee, utilities during vacancy. A $1,800 unit commonly costs $3,000–5,000 per turnover all-in — the most expensive event in property management.
What vacancy rate should I budget?
5–8% of gross rent annually (roughly 2–4 weeks per year) in normal markets. Budgeting 0% vacancy is the most common first-time landlord modeling error.
How do I minimize vacancy between tenants?
Start marketing 45–60 days before lease end, offer renewals early with modest increases, pre-schedule turnover vendors, and price at market — an extra $50/month is not worth three vacant weeks.
