US-MT / Mont. Code Ann. § 70-6-607(3)(a) (delivery per § 70-6-607(8))

Self-storage software for Montana operators.

Montana's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+31, sale eligibility at D+61, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from Mont. Code Ann. § 70-6-607.

Montana lien timeline

Late fee: Safe Harbor at D+10
Notice path: Notice of Default at D+31, then Notice of Sale at D+61
Sale gate: Auction eligible at D+61 after the 7-day sale lead

Vehicle and titled-property handling is tracked separately at D+60.

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 Montana operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Default at D+31, holds 30 days before Notice of Sale at D+61 under Mont. Code Ann. § 70-6-607(3)(b)-(c), keeps the auction gate closed until D+61, with citations Mont. Code Ann. § 70-6-607(3)(a) and Mont. Code Ann. §§ 70-6-601 to 70-6-609.
02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under Mont. Code Ann. §§ 70-6-601 to 70-6-609.
03 Publication is required with a 7-day sale lead and any commercially reasonable manner or publication in a newspaper of general circulation under Mont. Code Ann. §§ 70-6-601 to 70-6-609. Delivery evidence tracks Notice of Default by verified mail and email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Sale by verified mail, email (with the occupant's consent), and commercially reasonable publication.
04 Surplus is held for 1 year (365 days); then routes to the Montana Department of Revenue via the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. 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 Montana 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.
