I believe they accounted for this in the lending tree article. Looks like the main cause is units for rent at 26%, and units undergoing repair are at 6%.

I’ll say from personal experience it is somewhat rare to have this one month gap period between renters. I tend to see the super (manager) paint the unit in 1-2 days or even overnight. Then repairs can happen as the tenant reports them while living in the unit, barring any severe damage.
