When The Storage Unit Is Sold
NRS 108.476 and NRS 108.4763 — access cut at 10 days, notice at 14, and a sale only after another 14
A storage facility's owner has a lien on everything in the space from the day rent is due and unpaid, for the rent, late fees, charges under the rental agreement, and the reasonable costs of selling or disposing of the property.

A sale can be stopped. The notice of sale comes with a blank declaration in opposition. An occupant who signs it under penalty of perjury and returns it by verified mail prevents the sale, and any action on whether the lien is valid then has to begin not later than 21 days after the owner receives it.
Money from a sale beyond the lien and the costs of sale is kept by the owner and can be reclaimed by the occupant up to 1 year from the sale. Papers holding confidential information are returned, handed to an authority, or destroyed, never sold.
