UnitOps

US-GA / O.C.G.A. sections 10-4-210 to 10-4-218

Self-storage software for Georgia operators.

Georgia's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+37, sale eligibility at D+66, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from O.C.G.A. Sec. 10-4-214.

The full day-by-day clock, with statute citations.

This is the actual policy seeded for Georgia. Every delinquent account locks in the rules that applied the day it opened.

Georgia lien timeline

Late fee
Hard cap: no more than greater of $20/month or 20% monthly rent
Notice path
First lien notice after roughly 30 days of continuous default
Sale gate
Earliest sale is about D+66 after demand and county legal-organ publication

Vehicle tow after 60 days is inside the storage act; SCRA compliance is tracked separately.

The full day-by-day timeline — every transition, delivery rule, and citation from first notice to auction — runs live in the product, and every case pins the version in force the day it opened.

What UnitOps does differently for Georgia operators

Built around the Georgia statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+37, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+51 under O.C.G.A. § 10-4-214(b), keeps the auction gate closed until D+66, with citations O.C.G.A. § 10-4-214(a) and O.C.G.A. § 10-4-213.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under O.C.G.A. §§ 10-4-210 to 10-4-218.
  • 03 Publication is required with a 15-day sale lead and publication in the county legal organ once weekly for two consecutive weeks under O.C.G.A. § 10-4-213. Delivery evidence tracks Notice of Claim by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Sale by newspaper publication.
  • 04 Surplus is held for 2 years (730 days); then routes to the GA Department of Revenue under unclaimed-property law (verify with counsel). Run your own payment processor and your own QuickBooks — UnitOps never sits in the middle of either.

Lien evidence packet

Built for the day you get sued.

For Georgia cases, the packet presents the evidence trail beside the policy snapshot that was pinned when the case opened. It lists notices, delivery proof, ledger entries, photos, and state changes in chronological order. It presents records and citations only. The downloadable sample uses fictional seeded data with redacted names and a SAMPLE watermark.
