description: "Existing law, the California Self-Service Storage Facility Act, specifies remedies and procedures for self-service storage facility owners when occupants are delinquent in paying rent or other charges. Under existing law, if an owner sends an occupant a preliminary lien notice by certified mail, the owner may, upon the effective date of the lien, deny the occupant access to the space, enter the space, and remove property to safekeeping. However, if the owner sends the preliminary lien notice by first-class mail with certificate of mailing, the owner may not remove the property for at least 14 days following the effective date of the lien. Existing law requires owners to send occupants a notice of lien sale stating that the property will be sold to satisfy the lien after a date not less than 14 days following the date of mailing unless the amount of the lien is paid or the occupant returns a declaration in opposition to lien sale in a specified form. Existing law specifies procedures for an owner to enforce the lien following receipt of a declaration in opposition to lien sale. Existing law requires that a lien sale be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district where the sale is to be held, or posted in conspicuous places in the neighborhood of the proposed sale, as specified, and provides that prior to a lien sale, any person claiming a right to the goods may pay the amount necessary to satisfy the lien and reasonable expenses incurred for particular actions taken."
