Morphology
The meaning 'a property with no tenants' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'untenanted' (having no tenants) with 'property' (an asset/real estate). This adjective+noun composition is literal and follows standard word-formation patterns (and has clear equivalents in other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the phrase.
Etymology
Untenanted property comes from the word tenant, which means someone who 'rents' or lives in a place, and the 'un-' part meaning 'not'. So it paints the image of a house or flat with no one living in it, and that is why it means a property with no tenants today.
