Self-storage software for New Mexico operators.

New Mexico's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+30, sale eligibility at D+90, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from NMSA 1978, § 48-11-7.

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 New Mexico operators

Built around the New Mexico statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Intent to Enforce Lien at D+30, holds 15 days before Advertisement of Sale at D+45 under NMSA 1978, § 48-11-7(E), keeps the auction gate closed until D+90, with citations NMSA 1978, § 48-11-7(B) and NMSA 1978, §§ 48-11-1 to 48-11-9.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under NMSA 1978, §§ 48-11-1 to 48-11-9.
  • 03 Publication is required with a 15-day sale lead and publication in a newspaper for two consecutive weeks or posting in six conspicuous places for 10 days under NMSA 1978, §§ 48-11-1 to 48-11-9. Delivery evidence tracks Notice of Intent to Enforce Lien by verified mail and email (with the occupant's consent) and Advertisement of Sale by newspaper publication and posting publication.
  • 04 Surplus is held for 2 years (730 days); then routes to the owner/operator — if the occupant, lienholder, or other person in interest does not claim the balance within two years of the date of sale, it becomes the property of the owner without further recourse. 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 New Mexico 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.
