Is anyone using G5 for their website design/hosting?

Specifically, we require an alternate and that the address for the alternate be different than the renter, however, the software cannot distinguish when the address is the same. Anyone have suggested work arounds for this?

What are customers looking for in a self-storage facility?
It's a deceptively simple concept: Get a bunch of rooms with locks on the doors and let people store their stuff there. So why do some facilities in my neighborhood of Raleigh, NC seem to do better than others? How are customers choosing one facility over the other? There are some basic aspects that every customer looks…

Can we impose a lien if the tenant moved all of their belongings out without notice?
Our lease states we require 30-day notice to vacate but when they had not paid in December, I went to overlock the unit and it was empty. They stated they moved out in November but gave no notice and did not return the lock and keys. Can we proceed with a lien if there is nothing in the unit? Would it just be a personal…

Your fee schedule
I would like to know what fees and the amounts. I feel that our fees may need updated. We use the California schedule for late fees, but our other fees have not been updated in probably 20 years or more. Do you charge an admin fee at move-in? Pre-lien, lien, inventory, auction fees? do you charge cut lock or cleaning fees?…
