US-NC / N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-43(b)(2)

Self-storage software for North Carolina operators.

North Carolina's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+15, sale eligibility at D+45, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-43.

North Carolina lien timeline

Late fee: Hard Cap at D+6
Notice path: Preliminary Lien Notice at D+15, then Notice of Sale at D+25
Sale gate: Auction eligible at D+45 after the 5-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 North Carolina operators

Built around the North Carolina statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

01 The lien clock starts with Preliminary Lien Notice at D+15, holds 10 days before Notice of Sale at D+25 under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-43(c)(1), keeps the auction gate closed until D+45, with citations N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-43(b)(2) and N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 44A-40 to 44A-45.
02 Vehicle and titled-property units stay on a separate tow-vs-lien track at D+60; the policy row marks tow as extinguishing the storage lien under N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 44A-40 to 44A-45.
03 Publication is required with a 5-day sale lead and any commercially reasonable manner or one newspaper notice under N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 44A-40 to 44A-45. Delivery evidence tracks Preliminary Lien Notice by in person, certified mail, and verified email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Sale by certified mail, verified email (with the occupant's consent), newspaper publication, and commercially reasonable publication.
04 Surplus routes to the clerk of superior court of the county where the sale took place. 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 North Carolina 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.
