Tenant turnover cost calculator.

Every move-out costs twice: the make-ready work and the rent the vacant unit doesn't collect. Model both from your own numbers, then test a retention scenario you choose.

Portfolio Inputs

Model your annual turnover cost.

Enter your portfolio numbers to estimate what tenant turnover — make-ready spend plus vacancy-period rent loss — costs you each year.

How this model works

Turnover spend

Annual turnovers = units × your turnover rate. Each turn is multiplied by your per-unit make-ready cost — cleaning, repairs, painting, marketing, screening.

Vacancy rent loss

Each turnover is assumed to sit vacant for the days you enter, priced at your average rent. Vacancy loss is often the larger half of turnover cost.

Your scenario, your numbers

The reduction sliders start at zero and stay under your control. Sentus does not prefill improvement claims — outputs are modeled illustrations, not promises.
