They carry real financial consequences. A single missed deadline can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. 1. ### Missed deadlines cost millions Missing a renewal option exercise date can lock a tenant into above-market rent, or force a landlord into an unwanted vacancy. 2. ### Spreadsheets can't keep up Asset managers track critical dates in spreadsheets that grow stale. One missed update can mean a missed deadline. 3. ### Complex interdependencies Lease dates depend on each other. A commencement date shift cascades through every subsequent deadline. ## What you can calculate 1. ### Expiration dates Precise lease expiration from commencement date and term length, accounting for partial months. 2. ### Renewal option deadlines Exercise dates for renewal options, typically 6–12 months before expiration with configurable notice periods. 3. ### Notice periods Required notice dates for termination, renewal, expansion, and other lease provisions. 4. ### Escalation dates When rent increases take effect, including anniversary dates and mid-term adjustments. 5. ### Early termination dates Model early termination rights with configurable exercise dates and required notice periods. 6. ### Custom date tracking Add any milestone with flexible offsets from commencement or before expiration.
