Self-Service Storage Lien Act
West Virginia · Liens · §§ 38-14-1 to 38-14-9 · 9 sections
Overview
The Self-Service Storage Lien Act governs the relationship between operators of self-service storage facilities and the occupants who rent space in them, defining which facilities fall within its scope and setting requirements for the rental agreement between the parties. Its central mechanism is a statutory lien on property stored at the facility, securing rent and other charges the occupant owes, together with rules for how that lien relates to previously perfected security interests and how payment or possession of the property affects it. The act further prescribes the procedure for enforcing the lien, including required notice and posting, and addresses criminal liability.
