Pennsylvania lien clock

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

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

What UnitOps does differently for Pennsylvania operators

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

Section 1906 demand notice starts a payment window of not less than 30 days after notice; the default schedule does not open the auction gate before D+70.
Section 1904(b) late-fee handling uses the greater of $20/month or 20% monthly rent safe harbor, with no fee if the occupant pays in full by the fifth day after due.
Section 1907 publication runs as two publications before sale, or one newspaper publication plus an internet sale listing; the no-newspaper fallback is six conspicuous places for at least 10 days.
Section 1913 surplus is treated as abandoned after six months and routed through Commonwealth Department of Revenue procedures.

Lien evidence packet

Built for the day you get sued.

For Pennsylvania 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.
