At any time of the storage facility having my property can i pay my past due balance
Yes, you typically have the right to pay your past due balance at any time before the property is sold. However, this can vary by contract. Check your agreement or consult with a legal advisor for specifics.
The auctioned off my storage unit after the auction was over both bidders backed out so i have tried paying my balance in full but they keep refusing my payment
If the bidders backed out, the unit may still be considered yours. If they continue to refuse payment, it could be a breach of contract. It's best to consult with a lawyer or legal advisor for next steps.
Do i always have rights to my property if the storage facility still has my belongings in they're possession
Generally, as long as your belongings are in the storage facility and haven't been sold, they remain your property. However, specific rights can vary by contract and local laws. Consulting a legal advisor can provide clarity.
