occupied rental housing
Occupied rental housing refers to rental properties that are currently inhabited by tenants. These homes or apartments are not vacant or available for new tenants; they are actively being rented and used. The occupancy status indicates that someone is residing there and paying rent, providing insulation for landlords against periods of vacancy and loss of income. Monitoring occupied rental housing helps assess housing demand, rental market conditions, and neighborhood stability. It is a key component in understanding the rental housing market and urban development trends.
