What process do you use to allow auction winners into your facility so they can empty the unit they won? We allow the winner three days, during business hours, to empty the unit.

We use to end our auctions on Friday, giving the winning bidder the weekend to empty unit (as most ppl work during the week, and we had a lot of out-of-state buyers) they were only allowed on property during business hours, never gave them a gate code. This was a little difficult for the facilities that are not open on Sunday.0

We give them a gate code that expires in 72 hours. I usually use the unit number twice, and for the name "Auction Winner"1

We also allow 3 days for pick up during business hours. If Sunday is one of those days, we will offer to extend an extra day. We let the customer in after taking the "security" deposit. They also see at this point, they are on camera the whole time. No code = full control of transaction. Never have had a problem since implementing. Tried to be more accommodating at the start but got burned.1

Generally we give 24 hours to clear out a unit, but will work with the buyers depending on the unit size.
We are in a small town, so the usual buyers are pretty well known to us; we are more flexible with them.
Larger units (10x10 / 10x15 and up) are in high demand and we have clients waiting for the unit.

We do deposits for all auctioned units. The deposit receipt number is the gate code, set to Auction Access. Our access is 24 hours for the duration of the weekend after the auction. If units are emptied by Sunday evening, the buyers come back to get their deposits on Monday. However, if a buyer needs more time, depending we will either extend those hours, or we have them rent the unit until its cleared.0

I usually change the delinquent tenants gate code to the last four digits of the auction winner's phone number. Once the unit is empty, Move-out the old tenant and rent to a new one1
