Storage Auction Legalities Explored

Summary

In Indiana, storage facilities must provide proper notice before auctioning units due to overdue payments. If only an email was sent after the auction, it may not meet legal requirements. Reviewing the contract and consulting a local attorney is advisable, especially if valuable or sentimental items were lost. Connecting with local lawyers can help address potential non-compliance and explore legal options.

I just was informed in an email that my storage unit was auctioned off . I had just made a $* payment . Is that legal ?
Hey ****! Sorry to hear about your situation. In Indiana, storage facilities can auction units if payments are overdue, but they must follow specific procedures, like providing notice. To better assist you, did you receive any prior notice before the auction?
I did not receive a text or a phone call . I did find an email
In Indiana, storage facilities must typically provide notice before auctioning a unit, usually via email or mail. If you received an email, it might count as notice, but it's important to check if it met legal requirements. You could review the contract with the storage facility for specific notice terms. If you're considering disputing the auction, you might want to consult a local attorney for advice.
