Automated Occupier Rent Escalation Alerts

Every Monday, WebRun opens Occupier, finds leases with a rent escalation, CPI adjustment, or fixed step up taking effect in the next 60 days, logs the current and new rent to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a Slack reminder so billing gets updated before the change date.

In short

How do I track upcoming rent escalations across my leases?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Occupier and finds leases with a rent escalation, CPI adjustment, or fixed step up taking effect within 60 days. It logs the current and new rent to a Google Sheet for every change, then posts a Slack reminder to your billing team ranked by effective date, so no payment goes out at the old rate.

  • Billing updates payments before the new rent takes effect
  • Every escalation is logged with the old and new amount for audit
  • Nobody pays the prior rate past the effective date

Built for lease administrators · accounts payable teams · commercial tenants · finance operations

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it change the rent payment automatically?

No. WebRun only logs the upcoming change and reminds your team. Updating the actual payment or ACH amount is still a step your billing team confirms and makes.

What counts as an upcoming escalation?

Any fixed step up, percentage increase, or CPI based adjustment recorded on a lease in Occupier with an effective date in the next 60 days.

Will it remind us more than once for the same change?

It checks the log sheet before adding a row, so an escalation already logged this cycle is not posted again until its effective date passes.

Put this on autopilot.
