Bill > SB2220

This bill amends the Self-Service Storage Facility Act to require that when a storage facility owner sends a notice about a potential lien sale of a tenant's stored property, the notice must now include the website information where online bidding for the lien sale will take place, if such online bidding is applicable. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of law that outlines the procedures for enforcing a storage facility's lien against a tenant's property when rent remains unpaid. The change is a small but important update to the notification requirements, ensuring that tenants have complete information about how and where their property might be sold if they fail to pay their storage fees. The bill maintains the existing protections for tenants, such as requiring at least 14 days' notice before a sale, providing an itemized statement of charges, and allowing the tenant to reclaim their property by paying the overdue amount plus reasonable expenses. This amendment helps increase transparency in the lien sale process by explicitly requiring disclosure of online bidding websites, if used, giving tenants a fuller picture of potential sale methods.
