How could a vacancy be casual, or not casual. It is or it isn't vacant. Whether it's only vacant for a day, or for a decade, whether it's free, under lease agreement, or paid in advance, a vacancy means there's a vacancy, unless there isn't a vacancy, in which case the book's title is a fraud.

Reminds me of the sequester. Never understood that name for what's going on either. Did the author of your book help choose that name too?

Maybe someone could suggest a video game.
