What Is Real Estate Turnover?

Turnover rate most often refers to the percentage of a rental property's units that vacate and turn over to a new tenant within a given year — a key operating metric for multifamily and rental portfolios; the same term can also describe how frequently properties in a market resell.

Formula

Tenant Turnover Rate = Units Vacated ÷ Total Units × 100
