Inactivity Expense

Inactivity Expense

The amount you will lose in a given time period due to inactivity/underutilization/vacancy.

While inactivity isn't a direct expense in the sense that you do not pay it to anyone, it will result in a decrease in collected gross rent.

 

How Is It Calculated?

Vacancy Expense = Gross Rent * Vacancy Allowance
