Typically, it's the date you put the FOR RENT sign in the front yard, which is usually the day a renter "could" have moved in.
In many communities, signs in the front yard are limited or outright prohibited. I also have no idea how a sign would receive any visibility in something like a gated community.
Whether the property is available for rent is primarily when the owner is ready and willing to accept a tenant.
