Bill Summary
Self-service storage facilities. Specifies that the term "personal property" includes trailers. Changes the time at which a self-service storage facility owner (owner) may: (1) begin enforcement of the owner's lien on a renter's stored personal property; and (2) sell or otherwise dispose of the renter's stored personal property. Provides that as an alternative to conducting a sale of a renter's stored personal property after the renter's default, an owner may cause the renter's personal property to be towed or removed from the self-service storage facility if the renter's stored personal property is a trailer. (Current law provides this alternative if the renter's stored personal property is a motor vehicle or watercraft.) Specifies that an owner may deny the renter access to the self-service storage facility, including the rented space, when enforcing a lien. Allows a renter to designate an alternative contact in a rental agreement to receive required notices.
