Rental Daily Availability Reconciliation

Quick Overview

The short answer: reconcile availability from the unit status, readiness record, listing, showing calendar, and application queue. Resolve conflicts before an operator promises a date or a prospect receives inaccurate information.

Compare the Sources

Check the unit identifier, occupancy state, ready date, lease event, open work, access status, and listing state. Record the authoritative source for each field and mark unknown rather than guessing. A unit can be physically vacant without being ready to show.

When a mismatch appears, state the observed values, likely cause, owner, and next check. Correct the source record first, then confirm dependent views have updated.

Publish Carefully

Only publish availability supported by the current readiness and lease records. If a date is tentative, label it internally and avoid presenting it as a confirmed commitment. Review the reconciliation at a fixed daily time.

The daily vacancy exception review supports follow-up. For broader vacancy context, see U.S. Census housing vacancy data.

Common Mistakes

Do not use a listing as the source of truth, overwrite a conflicting lease event, or leave an unresolved mismatch hidden in a spreadsheet. Avoid promising a date from an estimate.
