An Act amending the act of December 20, 1982 (P.L.1404, No.325), known as the Self-Service Storage Facility Act, further providing for advertisement of sale.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's Self-Service Storage Facility Act to allow storage owners to publish redundant advertisements online when they are required to place notices in a newspaper. Under the new rules, owners can post these notices on publicly accessible websites that regularly sell personal property, and this online posting counts as meeting the legal advertising requirement. If a newspaper fails to publish the notice on time, the online advertisement remains valid once posted, provided the owner keeps proof of purchase and the ad copy for one year after the sale. The changes directly affect storage facility owners who must notify the public about auctions or sales of abandoned items, offering them a digital option to fulfill their notification duties.
