US-SC / S.C. Code Ann. § 39-20-45(B), (C)

Self-storage software for South Carolina operators.

South Carolina's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+14, sale eligibility at D+57, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from S.C. Code Ann. § 39-20-45.

South Carolina lien timeline

Late fee: Operator Configured at D+10
Notice path: Notice of Claim at D+14, then Notice of Sale at D+50
Sale gate: Auction eligible at D+57 after the 7-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 South Carolina operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+14, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+50 under S.C. Code Ann. § 39-20-45(E), keeps the auction gate closed until D+57, with citations S.C. Code Ann. § 39-20-45(B) and S.C. Code Ann. §§ 39-20-10 to 39-20-50.
02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under S.C. Code Ann. §§ 39-20-10 to 39-20-50.
03 Publication is required with a 7-day sale lead and publication in a newspaper for two consecutive weeks or no statutory alternative under S.C. Code Ann. §§ 39-20-10 to 39-20-50. 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 South Carolina State. 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 South 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.
