Most Calgary landlords think of vacancy as simply "lost rent." But the true cost is higher. Every vacant week also means utilities you may still be covering, increased wear from showings, and the time you spend advertising, screening, and re-leasing, often at the expense of your regular job or family time.
Calgary's average vacancy rate sits around 4–6% depending on the neighbourhood and property type. For a property renting at $2,000/month, even a single month of vacancy every two years costs you $1,000/year in lost income alone, before you factor in re-leasing costs.
