Summary:
The California Self-Service Storage Facility Act specifies remedies and procedures for selfservice storage facility owners when occupants are delinquent in paying rent or other charges, including through enforcement of a lien by the sale of the stored property. These procedures require an advertisement of the sale to be published once per week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the public notice district where the sale is to be held. Current law requires the advertisement to include, among other things, a general description of the goods. Current law requires, if there is no newspaper of general circulation published in the public notice district where the sale is to be held, the advertisement to be posted at least 10 days before the sale in at least 6 conspicuous places in the neighborhood of the proposed sale. This bill would instead require publication once per week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the public notice district where the sale is to be held or in the county where the self-service storage facility is located, or publication once in a newspaper of general circulation in the public notice district where the sale is to be held or in the county where the self-service storage facility is located and once on an internet website that customarily conducts or advertises online auctions or sales for at least 7 days before the sale, as specified.
