    California Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Bill Amending State's Self Storage Lien Law Effective January 1st, 2011

    The legislation (AB 655) was championed by the California Self Storage Association (CSSA) with significant funding support from the Self Storage Association (SSA). The law addresses the “Declaration in Opposition” provision of the lien law resulting in a more cost-effective process and eliminating the number of baseless “declaration” scenarios. It also provides for a more reasonably-priced lien notification method.

    Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2010

    Previously self storage lien circumstances where the “declaration” had been employed were settled in superior court creating a lengthy and expensive legal course of action. The new law enables self storage operators to resolve lien and auction disputes in small claims court. Taking into account the typical number of lien situations each year, the potential savings from the new process will be thousands of dollars for each facility and millions annually throughout the state. Also under the new law, verification of delivery of lien notices can be satisfied through certificate of mailing rather than certified mail, a much more costly method.

    “We congratulate our partners of the California Self Storage Association for all of their hard work in streamlining that state’s lien law,” said Michael T. Scanlon, Jr., president & CEO of the SSA. “The national SSA is working from state-to-state to modernize many of the lien laws so that they are fair to storage operators and take advantage of today’s more efficient technologies.”

    According to Jim McNamee, President of West Coast Self Storage and past president of the CSSA, “It was a lengthy three year battle for these common sense changes to become law; however it was well worth it. The passage of this bill is a win-win, and will save self storage operators and their customers time and money.”
