I think the In Use setting is probably the best option. It allows for setting the Varying Properties to start the In use=False at a specific period.

This from from the Platform Guide:
If set to False, this can turn off the ability to use an Entity based on Time. This keeps historical data available. This is designed to be used when an Entity becomes inactive or is sold. Once an Entity is no longer in use, it will be ignored during consolidation and all intersections including this Entity will be invalid.
