February 2026: Lease Expiration Tracking, Property Analytics, and Landlord Tickets

Two new features this week: lease expiration tracking with automated reminders, and a full property analytics page. Both came from real landlord requests and both are available now for all accounts.

Lease Expiration Tracking

You can now set a lease end date when linking a renter to a property. The field sits right next to Move-in Date in the Link Renter dialog -- just pick the date and you're done. Once a lease end date is set, RentPager takes over from there.

What You See in the Dashboard

Your main dashboard now surfaces a Leases Expiring Soon card whenever any lease is within 60 days of expiring. Each entry shows the renter's name, the property, and a color-coded countdown -- red for leases under 30 days, amber for 30-60 days. No digging through spreadsheets or calendar reminders.

Lease Badges on Renter Cards

On the Renters page, every renter with a lease end date now shows a live countdown badge on their property card. The color coding is the same -- red when urgent, amber when approaching, and a neutral date display for leases further out. Expired leases show a clear "Lease expired Xd ago" label so nothing slips through the cracks.

Automated SMS Reminders

RentPager now sends lease expiration reminders automatically at 60 days, 30 days, and 7 days before the lease end date. The messages go to the primary renter via SMS (the same channel as rent reminders) and include the property name and exact expiration date.

Each reminder is sent exactly once -- no duplicate messages. And they only go to renters who have verified their phone number, just like rent notifications.

Here's what a 30-day reminder looks like:

• Hi Sarah, your lease for Sunset Apartments expires in 30 days (March 11, 2026). Please contact your landlord about renewal as soon as possible.

No action needed on your end. If a lease end date is set and the renter has a verified phone number, the reminders fire automatically.

Landlord-Created Maintenance Tickets

This one came directly from a user who pointed out that landlords should be able to log maintenance issues they find themselves -- not just wait for tenants to report them. Makes sense if you're using the maintenance board as a master Kanban for everything.

There's now an Add Ticket button on the Maintenance Board. Pick a property, set a title, description, and priority, and the ticket drops right onto the board in the "New" column. No tenant submission required.

Property Analytics Page

Click into any property from the Properties page and you'll land on a full analytics view for that unit. This is the feature we're most excited about -- it turns every property into a data story.

Rent Collection Over Time

An area chart showing monthly rent collected for the property. You can see trends at a glance -- months where payments came in, months where they didn't, and how collection has changed as you've added or removed renters.

Maintenance Activity Over Time

A bar chart showing the number of maintenance tickets opened per month. This one is useful for spotting problem properties -- if a unit is generating 4-5 tickets a month consistently, that's a signal.

Most Common Issues + Current Residents

The page also ranks the most common maintenance issue categories for the property (plumbing, HVAC, appliance, etc.) with a visual breakdown, and shows all current residents with their unit, rent amount, and lease end date. Everything you need to understand a property's health in one screen.

How to Access It

Every property card on the Properties page now has a View Property Details button. Click it and you'll see the full analytics view for that unit -- charts, issues, residents, and recent tickets.

What's Next

We're looking at recurring expense tracking next -- mortgage, insurance, HOA, property tax per property -- so you can see true profit/loss alongside the rent collection data. If you have thoughts on what else would be useful in the property analytics view, let us know.

As always, everything here is available now at no cost. If you're not on RentPager yet, you can create a free account in under a minute.
