Vacant rental units can quickly become a financial black hole for Arizona property owners. Each day a property sits empty results in lost revenue, rising maintenance costs, and added stress from the challenge of finding reliable tenants in a competitive market. If you’re facing these struggles, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there’s a solution: leasing assistance designed to help you fill your units faster and with less hassle.
Threshold, Arizona’s first centralized landlord engagement program, is here to help you rent your units quickly and securely. Through this program, landlords are connected with tenants exiting homelessness — a process that not only fills vacancies but also supports the community.
Moreover, Threshold provides dedicated assistance, risk mitigation, and streamlined processes to ensure your units remain occupied. With this level of support, you can focus less on stress and more on success.
So, are you ready to turn those vacancies into opportunities? Let’s dive into how Threshold’s leasing assistance can transform your rental business.

Threshold’s leasing assistance helps fill units faster—connecting you with reliable tenants while reducing risk and supporting your bottom line.
Why Are Your Units Sitting Vacant?
Arizona’s rental market is a rollercoaster. Economic shifts, rising tenant affordability challenges, and market saturation can leave even well-maintained properties empty. According to recent data, prolonged vacancies can cost landlords thousands in lost rent, not to mention ongoing expenses like utilities, taxes, and upkeep. The pressure to find reliable tenants who pay on time and respect your property adds another layer of complexity. Screening tenants, managing turnover, and competing with other rentals can feel overwhelming, especially in a fluctuating market.
These challenges hit landlords hard. A single vacant unit for a month could mean hundreds — or thousands — of dollars in lost income. Multiply that across several units, and the financial strain becomes undeniable.
