Maine Self-service Storage Act

This act governs the rental of self-service storage space, where an occupant leases a unit and stores personal property there rather than living in it. It gives the facility operator a lien on the property stored in a rented space to secure unpaid rent, late fees, and other collection costs, and requires that the rental agreement disclose the lien and its terms. It also sets out how that lien may be enforced when an occupant defaults — the notice an operator must give before selling the stored property, the occupant's right to redeem it, how sale proceeds are applied, what the buyer receives, and limits on the operator's liability, with separate handling for stored motor vehicles.
