The NC self storage act ( lien law ) is silent on fees outside of the late fee for rent that is paid late. With that said, the lien fee that a property charges must be spelled out in the rental agreement.


We prefer an itemized fee structure That is charged when the event occurs versus a lump sum one time fee. Fees charged should be high enough to motivate customers to pay sooner than later but not so high that they are considered exorbitant.

Example:

Lien Letter sent $50
Cut lock fee $35
Lien Advertising Fee $50 ( charged if their unit is in the newspaper ad)

Hopes that helps!
