UnitOps

US-PA / 73 P.S. sections 1904-1908; 1913

Self-storage software for Pennsylvania operators.

Pennsylvania's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+30, sale eligibility at D+74, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from 73 P.S. Sec. 1906.

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

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

What UnitOps does differently for Pennsylvania operators

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

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+30, holds 30 days before Notice of Sale at D+60 under 73 P.S. § 1908, keeps the auction gate closed until D+74, with citations 73 P.S. § 1906 and 73 P.S. § 1907.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under 73 P.S. §§ 1901-1913.
  • 03 Publication is required with publication over two consecutive weeks, a 14-day sale lead, and one newspaper publication plus an internet sale website listing or posting in six conspicuous places for 10 days under 73 P.S. § 1907. 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 and posting publication.
  • 04 Surplus is held for 180 days; then routes to the PA Commonwealth - Department of Revenue unclaimed-property procedures (73 P.S. § 1913); with surplus handling cited to 73 P.S. § 1913. 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 Pennsylvania 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.
