Dear Property Manager,

The Real Estate Institute of Victoria appreciates your co-operation in participating in our monthly Residential Rental Vacancy Rate Data Collection.

This survey should take less than 3 minutes to complete and your personal information will be kept strictly confidential, as the data you provide will only be published in aggregate form. Your regular participation in this monthly survey is vital to the accuracy of our data. The information you provide is unique and cannot be obtained from any other source.

In appreciation of your support, we will send through a snapshot of the latest rental data directly to you before it is published in the Monthly Research Bulletin, and made available on our website.

Supplying data

This survey is used for the production of residential vacancy rates in the month of December 2024. The survey will remain open until 5pm on Monday, 13 January 2025.

The data that we collect is for a ‘point in time’ so answering the survey at any time during the month is acceptable. By collecting results for this survey for the same duration every month, this provides a reasonable comparison of the data over time.

Thank you in advance for your participation.
