Storage rules in District of Columbia
A D.C. storage operator has to wait until you are more than 60 days in default before enforcing its lien, according to D.C. Code 40-404. You first get a default notice by regular mail, then a second notice giving you at least 14 days after mailing to pay.
The public sale ad only has to run 3 days ahead, so do not wait for it. Act on the second mailed notice.
