US-KY / Ky. Rev. Stat. § 359.230(2)(b)

Self-storage software for Kentucky operators.

Kentucky's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+10, sale eligibility at D+46, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from Ky. Rev. Stat. § 359.230.

What UnitOps does differently for Kentucky operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Preliminary Lien at D+10, holds 14 days before Permit Auction Listing at D+46 under Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 359.200–359.250, keeps the auction gate closed until D+46, with citations Ky. Rev. Stat. § 359.230(2)(b) and Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 359.200–359.250.
02 Vehicle and titled-property units stay on a separate tow-vs-lien track at D+61; the policy row marks tow as extinguishing the storage lien under Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 359.200–359.250.
03 Publication is not required under Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 359.200–359.250; sale evidence still tracks any commercially reasonable manner or publication in a newspaper of general circulation. Delivery evidence tracks Preliminary Lien by regular mail and verified electronic mail and Notice of Sale by verified mail and verified electronic mail.
04 Surplus is held for 60 days; then routes to the occupant — after the lien is satisfied, surplus is held 60 days for other recorded lienholders presenting claims first-come/first-served. 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 Kentucky 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.
