Self-storage software for Maryland operators.

What UnitOps does differently for Maryland operators

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

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Default at D+30, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+47 under Md. Code Ann., Com. Law § 18-504(b)(4)-(5), keeps the auction gate closed until D+61, with citations Md. Code Ann., Com. Law § 18-504(b)(1)-(3) and Md. Code Ann., Com. Law §§ 18-501 to 18-506.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+61, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under Md. Code Ann., Com. Law §§ 18-501 to 18-506.
  • 03 Publication is not required under Md. Code Ann., Com. Law §§ 18-501 to 18-506; sale evidence still tracks advertisement at least 3 days before sale. Delivery evidence tracks Notice of Default by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Sale by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent).
  • 04 Surplus is held for 1 year (365 days); then routes to the state of Maryland — surplus held 1 year for delivery on demand to the occupant or any other recorded lienholder; after the 1-year period the balance is presumed abandoned. 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 Maryland 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.
