How Long Should Landlords Expect Tenants To Stay?⎟Ep. 2457

How long does the average tenant actually stay in a rental property? And what happens when a tenant leaves after just 2 days?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack tenancy data from 22,000+ rental properties to reveal how long tenants really stay, which areas have the highest turnover, and why vacancy assumptions matter more than most investors realise.

You’ll learn:

  • The median tenancy length across thousands of New Zealand rentals
  • Why central-city apartments tend to have far higher tenant turnover
  • The hidden financial impact of vacancy periods and tenant replacement costs

The big insight? The type of property you buy, and where it’s located, can dramatically affect how often you’re searching for a new tenant.
