US-WV / W. Va. Code § 38-14-5(b)(3) (delivery per § 38-14-5(b)(1))

Self-storage software for West Virginia operators.

West Virginia's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+30, sale eligibility at D+61, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from W. Va. Code § 38-14-5.

What UnitOps does differently for West Virginia operators

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

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+30, holds 14 days before Notice of Sale at D+44 under W. Va. Code § 38-14-5(b)(4)(A), keeps the auction gate closed until D+61, with citations W. Va. Code § 38-14-5(b)(3) and W. Va. Code §§ 38-14-1 to 38-14-9.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property handling stays separate at D+61, with tow evidence kept out of the ordinary goods sale path under W. Va. Code §§ 38-14-1 to 38-14-9.
  • 03 Publication is not required under W. Va. Code §§ 38-14-1 to 38-14-9; sale evidence still tracks advertisement by email or newspaper advertisement. 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, email advertisement (with consent), and website publication (with consent).
  • 04 Surplus is held for 1 year (365 days); then routes to the occupant first; with surplus handling cited to W. Va. Code § 38-14-5(f). 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 West 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.
