What does ARGUS Enterprise assume when an Available Date is entered before the Start Date in the Rent Roll?

When an Available Date is entered before the Start Date in the Rent Roll, ARGUS Enterprise assumes that the space is available, but vacant until the Start Date. This means that the property or unit can be marketed and potentially leased to tenants, but it will not yet be occupied. The distinction here is essential because it indicates the property's availability status in relation to its lease commencement date.

By setting an Available Date that precedes the Start Date, users can demonstrate that the space is open for leasing efforts, allowing property managers to attract prospective tenants even before the formal lease begins. This approach aligns with the typical practices in property management, where properties may be advertised and shown prior to a tenant's official move-in date. Thus, this assumption supports effective lease-up strategies and ensures that the property's leasing timeline is accurately reflected in financial projections.
