What Occupancy Rate means

The share of rentable units or space that is occupied.

Occupancy rate measures how much of a property is leased or occupied. Owners track it with vacancy, rent roll, collections, and market rent to understand leasing performance and income stability.

How this connects

From the book to the operating plan

Occupancy Rate connects to Chapter 6: Owner Mindset, section Maximizing Revenue and Minimizing Vacancies in Property Management Excellence. The operating takeaway for owners is: Leasing is a pipeline, not a scramble.
