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.

“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.”
