unoccupied
Empty of people
Unoccupied means not being used or lived in.
An unoccupied house stands empty; an unoccupied seat has no one sitting in it.
The word also describes a person who has nothing to do: She felt restless and unoccupied.
In military contexts, unoccupied territory is not controlled by enemy forces.
