US-RI / R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-42-4(a)(1)

Self-storage software for Rhode Island operators.

Rhode Island's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+5, sale eligibility at D+60, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-42-4.

What UnitOps does differently for Rhode Island operators

Built around the Rhode Island statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

01 The lien clock starts with First Notice at D+5, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+28 under R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-42-4(d), keeps the auction gate closed until D+60, with citations R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-42-4(a)(1) and R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 34-42-1 to 34-42-9.
02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 34-42-1 to 34-42-9.
03 Publication is required with a 22-day sale lead and one newspaper publication or website posting for two consecutive weeks under R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 34-42-1 to 34-42-9. Delivery evidence tracks First Notice by in person, regular mail, and verified email and Second Notice by in person, regular mail, and verified email.
04 Surplus is held for 2 years (730 days); then routes to the state of Rhode Island. 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 Rhode Island 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.
