Questions, answered

Does it take any action on vacant units?

No - it reports only. Any decision to list, reprice, or make-ready a unit is yours to make.

Can I set a target occupancy threshold per building?

Yes. Add a target rate column to your Google Sheet per building and WebRun will flag any that fall below it each week.

Can I see the trend over multiple weeks?

Yes. The Google Sheets tracker accumulates a row per building per week, so you build a full occupancy trend history from the first run onwards.

Put this on autopilot.
