Georgia lien clock

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

This is the actual policy seeded for Georgia. Every delinquent account locks in the rules that applied the day it opened — later statute updates never retroactively change a case already in flight.

Georgia lien timeline

O.C.G.A. sections 10-4-210 to 10-4-218

Late fee: Hard cap: no more than greater of $20/month or 20% monthly rent
Notice path: First lien notice after roughly 30 days of continuous default
Sale gate: Earliest sale is about D+66 after demand and county legal-organ publication

Vehicle tow after 60 days is inside the storage act; SCRA compliance is tracked separately.

What UnitOps does differently for Georgia operators

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

Section 10-4-213 timing waits for default to begin around the seventh day and for about 30 days of continuous default before the first lien notice at roughly D+37.
The earliest sale path is about D+66 after the 14-day demand window and county legal-organ publication, with no fabricated posting fallback.
Section 10-4-217 caps late fees at no more than the greater of $20/month or 20% of monthly rent.
Section 10-4-213 includes vehicle tow after 60 days; section 10-4-214 SCRA handling stays visible on the case.

Lien evidence packet

Built for the day you get sued.

For Georgia 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.
