Bill > S03690

This bill modifies the New York Lien Law regarding self-storage facilities by updating notice requirements and extending the demand for payment period. Specifically, the bill increases the notice period for enforcing a lien on stored goods from 30 to 60 days, and adds new communication provisions for storage facility owners. The bill requires that occupancy agreements now include options for occupants to provide their telephone number and electronic mail address for contact purposes, and mandates that if an occupant chooses to provide a telephone number, the owner must attempt to contact them by phone when sending legal notices about late payments or liens. Furthermore, the bill specifies that notices sent via electronic mail are only valid if the occupant has explicitly consented to receive such notices and provided their email address in at least two locations within the original occupancy agreement. These changes aim to improve communication between self-storage facility owners and occupants, providing more comprehensive and transparent notification processes when a lien is being enforced or payments are overdue.
