How to Use the Vacancy Counter Report in REST Professional

Overview

The Vacancy Counter Report can be produced to provide a list of available or upcoming rentals to prospective tenants. The report includes photos, advertising details, the property address, property descriptions and the vacancy date. Properties marked as “not for relet‟ or as “being renovated‟ are not included on this report.

All information and images that appear on this report are generated from the advertising tab of the Property card including the most recent two open/inspection times.
