One calendar is not enough for leases, insurance, and inspections

One calendar is fine for birthdays. It is not enough for rental deadlines.

For each property I want three dates, not one: the renewal lead date, the hard expiration date, and the proof date after the work is actually done. Lease renewal, insurance renewal, and inspection follow up are different clocks. Treating them as one reminder is how you end up with a policy bound late, a lease term drifting, or an inspection item that nobody can prove was cleared.

My default is to start the review 60 days out, then close the loop only when the new document or completion proof is in the file. The calendar reminder is not the control. The proof is.

Curious where other owners see the most misses: leases, insurance, inspections, or something else?

Quote from @Eduardo Cavasotti:

Drew Sygit separate reminders help. Marcus Auerbach I agree it should not become admin theater. The 60 day reminder is only useful if it produces evidence: signed renewal, bound policy, inspection photos, or invoice. Without that, the calendar says someone remembered, not that the risk is closed.


Our team has calendar reminders emailed to group inboxes and the "Topic" is not marked complete until the task is done.

Pretty simple "KISS" system:)
