ASU is currently planning to have in-person classes for the fall semester (so long as there isn't another spike in cases or anything unexpected). The other schools will open eventually - I would be surprised if any of them were still closed by Spring semester 2021. There could be a few months of reduced vacancy, but it doesn't look like that would be an ongoing situation.
Also: Phoenix generally has low vacancy numbers throughout the valley. Even if the schools aren't doing in-person classes, we have plenty of workers who are always looking to rent!
