## Messages to send Mindie
- Before the notice deadline: "Remind me before my lease notice deadline on 31 March 2027"
- Time to decide: "On 1 February 2027 at 7pm remind me to decide whether to renew the lease"
- Talk to the landlord: "Remind me on 15 February 2027 at 6pm to email the landlord about renewal terms"

A lease renewal reminder on WhatsApp is a heads-up before the date you have to give notice, which is usually well before the lease ends. With Mindie, send "remind me before my lease notice deadline on 31 March 2027" and you get an early heads-up plus a reminder on the day.

The mistake is remembering the lease end date and forgetting the notice period. By the time you think about moving, the window to say so has closed.

## When to be reminded

- **A month or two before the notice deadline,** to decide whether to stay.
- **When you plan to talk to the landlord** about terms or a rent increase.
- **On the notice deadline itself,** as a last check.

## Why it catches people out

- **The lease end is the date you remember.** The notice date is buried in the agreement.
- **Deciding takes time.** Comparing places and costs isn't a one-evening job.
- **Leases that roll over** can lock you into terms you didn't choose.

## Habits that help

- **Read the notice clause once** when you sign and save it as a note.
- **Work back from the deadline.** Set the decide, talk and notice reminders in one sitting.
- **Keep a list of questions** for the landlord as they come up during the year.

## How Mindie handles it

Send the notice deadline and Mindie sets a heads-up and a reminder on the day. Add one-off reminders for each step. Reply "done" to close each, and ask for your lease notes any time.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't contact your landlord** or send notices.
- **It doesn't give legal advice** about leases. Check your agreement or local tenancy rules.
- **It doesn't message anyone else.** Reminders come to your own chat only.

## FAQ

### Why remind me before the notice date and not the lease end?
Many leases need written notice 30 to 90 days before they end. Miss that and the lease may renew or roll over on its own terms. Check your agreement for the exact period.

### Can I save the key lease dates as a note?
Yes. Send something like "note: lease ends 30 June, 60 days notice, rent goes up 4% on renewal".

### Can Mindie contact my landlord?
No. It only messages you. The email or letter to your landlord comes from you.

### How early should the first reminder be?
Check your lease's notice period, then set the reminder for a few weeks before it. That leaves time to compare places or negotiate.

### Can I set it from a photo of my lease?
Yes. Send the page with the dates and ask Mindie to set the reminder. Check what it read against the lease.
