US-VA / Va. Code Ann. § 55.1-2902(A)(1)

Self-storage software for Virginia operators.

Virginia's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+3, sale eligibility at D+30, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from Va. Code Ann. § 55.1-2902.

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

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

US-VA / v2026.06.26

Virginia lien timeline

Late fee: Operator Configured at D+5
Notice path: Initial Default Notice at D+3, then Notice of Claim at D+10
Sale gate: Auction eligible at D+30 after the 20-day sale lead

Vehicle and titled-property handling is tracked separately at D+61.

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 Virginia operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Initial Default Notice at D+3, holds 20 days before Lien Pending at D+30 under Va. Code Ann. §§ 55.1-2900 to 55.1-2906, keeps the auction gate closed until D+30, with citations Va. Code Ann. § 55.1-2902(A)(1) and Va. Code Ann. §§ 55.1-2900 to 55.1-2906.
02 Vehicle and titled-property units stay on a separate tow-vs-lien track at D+61; the policy row marks tow as extinguishing the storage lien under Va. Code Ann. §§ 55.1-2900 to 55.1-2906.
03 Publication is not required under Va. Code Ann. §§ 55.1-2900 to 55.1-2906. Delivery evidence tracks Initial Default Notice by regular mail and email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Claim by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent).
04 Surplus routes to the occupant. 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 Virginia 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.
