UnitOps

US-LA / La. R.S. 9:4759(4)(a)-(d)

Self-storage software for Louisiana operators.

Louisiana's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+10, sale eligibility at D+30, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from La. R.S. 9:4759.

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

Email notice requires the seeded paper-fallback evidence path before lien advance.

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 Louisiana operators

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

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+10, holds 10 days before Notice of Sale at D+20 under La. R.S. 9:4759(5)(b)(i)-(iii), keeps the auction gate closed until D+30, with citations La. R.S. 9:4759(4)(a)-(d) and La. R.S. 9:4756 et seq.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under La. R.S. 9:4756 et seq.
  • 03 Publication is required with a 10-day sale lead and one publication in a newspaper of general circulation or publication on a publicly accessible personal-property auction website under La. R.S. 9:4756 et seq. 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 and online-auction publication.
  • 04 Surplus is held for 2 years (730 days); then routes to the owner/operator (unclaimed surplus becomes the owner's property two years after the sale; no escheat to the state). 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 Louisiana 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.
