Bill Summary
Property matters. Provides that if a tenant does not claim the tenant's property within 45 days after receiving a certain notice, a warehouseman or storage facility may sell the tenant's property (current law requires a warehouseman or storage facility to wait 90 days).
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Indiana law regarding storage facilities and tenant property by reducing the waiting period for selling unclaimed property from 90 days to 45 days. Specifically, the bill allows a warehouseman (a person or business that stores goods for others) or storage facility to sell a tenant's stored property if the tenant does not claim it within 45 days after receiving a notice, which is a shorter timeframe compared to the current 90-day requirement. The change is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to provide storage facilities with more flexibility in managing unclaimed property. By shortening the waiting period, the bill may help storage facilities more quickly resolve situations where tenants have abandoned their stored items, potentially reducing storage costs and administrative burdens for these businesses.
