Self-storage software for Washington operators.

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

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

US-WA / v2026.06.26

Washington lien timeline

Late fee: Safe Harbor at D+6
Notice path: Preliminary Lien Notice at D+14, then Final Lien Sale Notice at D+28
Sale gate: Auction eligible at D+42 after the 14-day sale lead

Email notice requires the seeded paper-fallback evidence path before lien advance.

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 Washington operators

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

01 The lien clock starts with Preliminary Lien Notice at D+14, holds 14 days before Final Lien Sale Notice at D+28 under RCW 19.150.060(1)(a)-(g), keeps the auction gate closed until D+42, with citations RCW 19.150.040(1)(a)-(d) and Chapter 19.150 RCW.
02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+60, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under Chapter 19.150 RCW.
03 Publication is not required under Chapter 19.150 RCW. Delivery evidence tracks Preliminary Lien Notice by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent) and Final Lien Sale Notice by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent).
04 Surplus is held for 180 days; then routes to the Washington State - unclaimed/abandoned property under ch. 63.30 RCW, administered by the Department of Revenue. 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 Washington 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.
