Revises requirements for the advertising of a sale of personal property to satisfy the lien of an owner of a facility for storage. (BDR 9-183)
AB 137 changes how storage facility owners must advertise sales of occupants' personal property to cover unpaid rent or fees. It requires advertising in a newspaper published in the *county* (not judicial district) where the sale occurs, or alternatively, using a public online property sale website for 10 consecutive days. The bill also removes the requirement to include a general description of the property in the advertisement. These changes directly affect storage facility owners and occupants whose property may be sold under lien laws.
