Lease critical dates
Every rent review, every renewal, and the date by which notice has to be served. Enter the term once and take the whole schedule away as a calendar file.
Free to use
Open the critical dates planner
It is free and there is no obligation. We ask because a lease schedule is only useful next to the deed it came from, and if a date on it is worth acting on we would rather already know.

The date that costs money
A missed renewal notice is the expensive one. Relief is available — s 261 of the Property Law Act 2007 covers exactly this — but it is at the court’s discretion, and you are arguing for something that was yours by right the week before. Diarising the date costs nothing.
Every date the lease creates
Deadlines you have to act on are marked. A missed renewal notice is the one that costs the most.
| Date | Event | Act by | Rent from |

Read this against the deed. Notice periods, review dates and renewal mechanics are set by the lease itself and vary widely — the periods above are the ones you entered, not a market standard. Dates are calculated on calendar months from commencement and take no account of business days, public holidays, or how the lease defines service of a notice. Projected rent assumes the fixed increase you entered and is indicative only. Confirm every date against the executed document before you rely on it.
Why the schedule matters
The dates outlive the negotiation
Signing is a single moment. The obligations it creates run for the whole term, and keeping track of them is continuous.
01
A missed renewal notice is recoverable, but not for free
The right is not simply lost. Section 261 of the Property Law Act 2007 lets a tenant apply for relief where a landlord refuses to renew because notice was late, and courts commonly grant it absent a substantial breach. But it is discretionary, it costs time and legal fees, and it hands the landlord a position it did not hold the day before.
02
A review settled cheaply sets the base
A review agreed without evidence fixes the rent that every later review compounds from. The cost is not one year of overpayment. It is the rest of the term, and the base the next review starts from.
03
Leverage has a date on it
The time to negotiate is well before a deadline, not at it. Knowing the schedule two years out is what turns a renewal from an administrative step into a position you can argue from.

More than one lease to keep track of?
A portfolio is where dates get lost. We have run lease administration across networks of several hundred property interests, and the work starts the same way every time: abstract the deeds, build the calendar, then decide which events are worth fighting.
