Resident retention rate measures what percentage of residents with expiring leases chose to renew — a key property performance and satisfaction metric.

How the calculation works

Retention rate = (Renewing residents ÷ Expiring leases) × 100.

Example

28 renewals out of 35 expiring leases: (28÷35)×100 = 80%.

Pro Tips for Resident Retention Rate

  1. Higher retention significantly reduces turnover costs (vacancy, marketing, unit turn expenses) — even modest retention improvements can meaningfully affect overall profitability.
  2. Track retention rate by property or unit type to identify where resident satisfaction and retention efforts might need the most attention.

Common Resident Retention Rate Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing purely on maximizing rent increases at renewal without considering the impact on retention rate and the resulting turnover costs if residents choose not to renew.
