“I've got it in my email”
Which is another way of saying nobody else has it. If that person isn't around, the document doesn't exist.
The tenancy agreement, the car policy, the washing machine warranty and the boiler manual. They get looked for twice a year, always in a rush, and someone always has them in an email from three years ago.
What happens without it
Which is another way of saying nobody else has it. If that person isn't around, the document doesn't exist.
At a price nobody has reviewed, because the date wasn't written down anywhere.
In a shared house some papers are common and others —a medical report, a payslip— aren't. Putting them all in the same folder isn't an option.
How it gets sorted
With categories that belong to a house: property, utilities, insurance, warranties, health, vehicle. Anyone at home finds it without asking.
A month before, a week before and on the day. Three warnings and not two, because an insurance policy that expires tomorrow can't be renewed in time.
Any document can be marked as visible only to the home's admins. It doesn't appear in anyone else's list: not even the title.
How it works
Setting up a home takes under a minute, and you decide later whether you need anything more.
