Lower Operating Costs by Using Electronic Lien Notices

Recent changes in self-storage lien laws are bringing lucrative opportunities for self-storage operators to cut costs and increase profits. More than twenty-five states across the U.S. have amended their lien statutes to allow for lien notices to be sent via email.

Why Send Electronic Lien Notices

• Savings: An electronic service costs a fraction of what postal mail costs and reduces administrative work in the process without sacrificing the proof of receipt
• Greater responsiveness to lien notices: Reach transient tenants whose email addresses may be more reliable than their mailing addresses
• Proof of receipt: All states require the facility operator to prove the lien notice was sent and received. Some electronic lien services require the recipient to take an action, like clicking a link or acknowledge receipt. The only legal way to make this automatic is by using RPost's Registered Email™ service, which sends an archived Registered Receipt email that certifies time of delivery and exact message content
