# What's the Best Way to Track Vacancy Time Between Tenants?

The best way is to record the date a unit becomes vacant and the date a new lease starts, and to let a calculated field show the days empty, together with the reason and the actions taken. On **Jestor**, this runs through a units **table** with a vacancy history.

Every empty day is lost rent. Without measuring vacancy, an agency cannot tell whether long gaps come from price, condition, marketing, or slow processes.

## What unmeasured vacancy costs

- Units staying empty longer than necessary
- No clear owner of the task of re-renting
- Difficulty explaining losses to owners
- No data to compare periods or properties

## How vacancy tracking works

- Each vacancy is a record with **start date**, end date, and reason
- A calculated field shows the number of days empty
- Tasks cover cleaning, repairs, photos, and advertising
- A dashboard shows average vacancy time and the longest gaps

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Visible days empty create urgency to act
- Reasons show whether the fix is price, condition, or marketing
- Owners receive clear explanations
- This scales from a few units to a large portfolio

| Vacancy not measured | Days empty tracked per unit       |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Long gaps unnoticed  | Measured, explained, and acted on |
