Tenant Turn Time Calculator
The gap between tenants costs real dollars — fast turns save thousands a year. Best practice: pre-inspect 30 days before move-out, vendors lined up, listed during notice period, showings started immediately. This calculator plans the turn timeline against your target days-to-re-lease.

How the math works
30-day notice + 5 day make-ready + 3 day marketing lead + 4 day screening overlap: projected ~5-8 vacant days if marketing and screening happen DURING the notice period. Without overlap: 12-16 days.
The single biggest lever is marketing overlap: start 14+ days before move-out. Pre-inspect at day 20 of notice, list at day 15, show during days 7-1 of notice period, sign replacement during vacancy instead of starting from scratch.
How to Use
- Enter monthly rent and target days-to-re-lease.
- Enter notice period received (usually 30-60 days).
- Enter make-ready work days after keys return and marketing-to-showing lead time.
- See projected total turn days and vacancy cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a great turn time?
Best operators hit 7-14 days vacant. Industry average is 20-35 days. Over 45 days means your process is broken: slow make-ready, no pre-notice listing, poor showing flow. Under 7 days requires near-zero make-ready and same-day listing activation.
Should I list before keys return?
Almost always yes. Use current tenant's photos (with permission), list the day notice is received, show during the last 2 weeks with the tenant's cooperation. Saves 10-15 days of vacancy if done cleanly.
What about deferred maintenance?
Handle BEFORE the turn, during tenancy. Once vacant, every day is rent loss. Pre-turn punchlist discovered at pre-inspection gets vendors booked before keys return.
Is a 2-week buffer good?
For make-ready work and showing overlap, yes. For vacant cash-flow loss, no. Target no more than 7-10 vacant days if make-ready scope is light.
