We’re Partnering with Ai Lean to Simplify Lien Management

May 5, 2025

Market data seems to indicate that delinquencies are on the rise, meaning more operators will be forced to navigate the notoriously complex lien process. 

Many operators still rely on manual workflows to resolve delinquencies, which leads to reduced revenue, increased legal risk, and time diverted from growth-focused initiatives. 

To help solve this complicated problem, we’re partnering with Ai Lean, the industry leading end-to-end lien compliance platform. We’ll now offer Ai Lean’s platform as part of our self storage management services to help optimize how we handle the lien process. 

“We know firsthand how challenging delinquency resolution and lien compliance can be. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Ai Lean and leverage their platform to help our clients streamline the lien compliance process,”

said Jen Barroqueiro, VP of Operations at White Label Storage.

Streamlining Lien Compliance Through Automation

Because of variations in state laws, the lien process has long been a legal minefield for operators. Failure to comply with local requirements can result in lawsuits or liability for damages to tenant property.

Ai Lean significantly reduces those risks by automating every step of the process. The platform provides end-to-end support across:

  • Early Delinquency Detection & Communication
  • Lien Notification
  • Auction Planning
  • Audit Process
  • Ad Placement
  • Auction Execution

“Our partnership with White Label is very exciting. With Ai Lean rolling out across their portfolio, we're providing Jenn and her team with a powerful solution to increase efficiency and ensure legal compliance. This translates into lower costs, reduced risk, and greater profitability—and given the current market conditions, the timing couldn't be better,”

said Luke Shardlow, CEO of Ai Lean.

Solving One of Self Storage’s Toughest Challenges

Handling delinquencies is an inevitable part of running a self storage business. The combination of White Label Storage’s expert facility management and Ai Lean’s automation offers operators a smarter, more efficient way to address this ongoing challenge.

This partnership delivers key benefits to White Label clients:

More Efficient Operations
Lien management is laden with manual work and prone to human error. Ai Lean automates the entire process, easing the burden on operators while guaranteeing compliance with state-specific lien laws.

The result: a smoother process, less time spent on paperwork and manual tasks, and more focus on profitable activities.

Improved Net Operating Income
The lien process can require a significant amount of time and money—resources that cut into revenue. Automating them helps recover more delinquent payments, reduces the frequency of lien actions, and strengthens overall financial performance.

From AI to automation, new technologies are rapidly entering the self storage market, and the best operators are finding ways to harness these solutions to optimize their operations. 

We’re on a mission to be the best operator possible, so teaming up with Ai Lean to revolutionize lien compliance for our customers just makes sense.
