    Average renter stays 2 years in an apartment 4 years in a house. Moving may have nothing to do with your property. Job change, buying their own home, needing a bigger place because of a blessed event etc.

    A more important question is how long does it take to get a new quality tenant in? This goes back to how well you maintain your property, how desirable it is, how well managed, is it competitive in price and do you keep on top of management especially vacancies?

    Tenants moving out and moving in is an important part of the business. You need to have systems in place to handle it well and make it a smooth routine.
