Vacancy doesn't send an invoice.
It just takes the money.

Every day a unit sits between tenants, rent walks out the door — quietly, across your whole portfolio. Enter your numbers, see what the leak actually costs, and what closing it is worth.

The leak is industry-wide. Here's the evidence.

Every number below is a published benchmark — this is the market you're operating in right now.

7.3%
U.S. rental vacancy rate in Q1 2026 — the most empty units the market has carried in years, and supply is still arriving.
U.S. Census Bureau, Q1 2026
41 days
Median time from listing a unit to a signed lease — a record high. In January 2022 it was 26 days. Renters shop slowly now; every process delay stacks on top.
Apartment List, Jan 2026
~$3,900
Average all-in cost per turnover — lost rent, make-ready, marketing, and concessions. Harvard's housing center pegs it near $4,000.
Zego PM survey · Harvard JCHS
46–50%
Share of units that turn over every year in the average community. Turnover isn't an edge case — it's half your portfolio, annually.
NAA Income & Expenses Survey
80%
Of all turnovers land between May and September. Turn speed matters most exactly when your team is busiest.
Property Meld
3–5 days
Best-in-class make-ready time — versus 10+ days at typical operations. The gap is coordination, not construction: inspections before move-out, vendors scheduled in advance.
Multifamily industry benchmarks

Your portfolio

National median rent was about $1,350–$1,500 in early 2026 (Apartment List / Census).
Industry average: 46–50% of units turn per year (NAA). Class A stabilized suburban can run 30–40%; workforce and urban rentals run higher.
Move-out to move-in: make-ready, cleaning, repairs, leasing lag. Best-in-class turns run 3–5 days; the median list-to-lease time nationally hit 41 days in Jan 2026.
Conservative default. Operators using pre-move-out inspections and coordinated vendor scheduling routinely cut 2–4+ days per turn — faster intake, routing, and hand-offs compress every step.
Used to translate recovered income into asset value. Multifamily cap rates commonly range 4.5–6.5% depending on market and class.

Recovered NOI ÷ cap rate. Multifamily is valued on income — every recovered dollar of NOI is capitalized into property value.

How this is calculated — formulas & sources

Formulas

Daily rent value = monthly rent × 12 ÷ 365

Turns per year = units × turnover rate

Vacancy loss = turns × days vacant × daily rent value

Recovered rent = turns × days saved × daily rent value

Asset value impact = recovered rent ÷ cap rate — because multifamily is valued on income, every recovered dollar of NOI is capitalized into property value. Example: $22,000 of recovered NOI at a 5.5% cap rate is roughly $400,000 in implied asset value.

Published benchmarks used on this page

  • U.S. Census Bureau, Housing Vacancies & Homeownership (Q1 2026): national rental vacancy rate of 7.3%.
  • Apartment List rental market data (Jan–Feb 2026): median list-to-lease time of 41 days — a record high, up from 26 days in January 2022; national median rent ≈ $1,353; roughly a third of listed properties offering at least one month of free rent as a concession.
  • Zego survey of 630 property management companies: average all-in turnover cost of ≈ $3,872 per unit, covering lost rent, repairs, marketing, and concessions.
  • Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies: turnover costs of approximately $4,000 per unit.
  • National Apartment Association, Survey of Operating Income & Expenses: annual turnover of roughly 46–51% of units; 53.8% of surveyed firms report per-turn costs of $1,500–$3,500, and about 1 in 5 report more than $3,500.
  • Property Meld: roughly 80% of unit turnovers occur between May and September.
  • RealPage Market Analytics: extended vacancy adds approximately $275 per unit in expenses on top of foregone rent.
  • Multifamily operations benchmarks: best-in-class make-readies complete in 3–5 days — documented operators average as little as 3 days by inspecting and scheduling repairs before move-out — while typical operations run 10+ days per turn.

Estimates are illustrative, based on your inputs and the published industry benchmarks listed above — not a guarantee of results. Actual outcomes depend on portfolio, market, and operations. The vacancy figures shown reflect lost rent only; they exclude make-ready labor, materials, marketing, and administrative cost, so the true cost of each turn is higher than the rent-loss line alone.
