Is there a way to setup an alert for lease renewal?

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if there is a way to set an alert for lease renewal and if you can set it by days in advance.

You can create a reminder for pretty much anything. And reminders allow you to specify how many days in advance to be notified. You could definitely use reminders for your lease renewal.

There is actually an alerts feature in Quicken as well. I don't recall if it covers leases, but it would be worth looking at. You can find it via menu Tools | Alerts.

I was thinking the same thing: Set up a Bill Reminder (if you are the lessor) or an Income Reminder (if you are the lessee) for a $0 amount. Enter the Due Date and under Optional Settings select the number of days prior to the due date that you want to be reminded of it. You can even set up the reminder to be recurring at the interval (yearly, every 6 months, etc.) that you want/need.

I follow this process to remind me of when I should start to review my house and auto insurance options. (There is an Alerts option for this but I prefer using Reminders.)

I did check Tools > Alerts to see if there is an option for your specific Lease reminder but did not find that listed there and did not see a way to add it as an Alert.

@Boatnmaniac possibly the Rental Property edition has more alert choices than Premier.

I setup Reminders for all my bills & incomes - along with various charity events, donations, and other financial activities- then I click on the Calendar to see what's coming up this month

Possibly. I think that it would be good if there were a way to add different Alerts. Still, I like the use of Reminders better because they allow the addition of other information (such as, a Category, Tag and Memo, Account) which can be very useful in more accurately pinpointing what the Reminder is for.
