Apartment vacancy loss calculator
In short Every day a unit sits vacant is rent you are not collecting. Put in your numbers and see what your current turn time costs against a 5-business-day standard.
- Rent lost per vacant day, per unit
- $55
- Vacancy loss per month at 9 days
- $2,970
- Vacancy loss per month at a 5-day turn
- $1,650
- Rent recovered per year
- $15,840
Rent ÷ 30 × days vacant × units. Rough by design; it ignores concessions and the make-ready cost itself, which is the same at any speed.
The 5-day figure is the L&J Projects standard for a typical 1BR or 2BR apartment turnover in Atlanta, every trade on one crew and one invoice. See what those five days include.
