US-OH / ORC sections 5322.01 to 5322.06

Self-storage software for Ohio operators.

Ohio's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+30, sale eligibility at D+59, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from ORC Sec. 5322.03.

The full day-by-day clock, with statute citations.

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

US-OH / v2026.06.09

Ohio lien timeline

Late fee: Greater of $20 or 20% reasonableness harbor
Notice path: Notice requires written email consent plus delivery confirmation or paper fallback
Sale gate: Publication is not mandatory; commercially reasonable sale evidence can satisfy the path

Vehicle liens are ineffective against valid security-interest holders without written consent.

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 Ohio operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+30, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+44 under ORC § 5322.03(C), keeps the auction gate closed until D+59, with citations ORC § 5322.03(A) and ORC § 5322.03.
02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under ORC Chapter 5322.01 to 5322.06.
03 Publication is not required under ORC § 5322.03; sale evidence still tracks a commercially reasonable manner or publication in a newspaper for two consecutive weeks. 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.
04 Surplus is held for 2 years (730 days); then routes to the OH Department of Commerce Division of Unclaimed Funds under ORC § 169.02 (verify with counsel). 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 Ohio 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.
