AB137

Existing law provides, in general, that if the occupant of a storage space at a facility for storage defaults on the payment of rent or other charges that are due to the owner of the facility pursuant to a rental agreement, the owner has a lien on the personal property of the occupant contained in the storage space. (NRS 108.4753) Existing law authorizes an owner to sell certain personal property of the occupant to satisfy the lien after the owner has provided certain notices to the occupant. (NRS 108.476, 108.4763, 108.477) Existing law: (1) requires the owner to advertise a sale to satisfy a lien once a week for 2 consecutive weeks immediately preceding the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district where the sale is to be held; and (2) sets forth the requirements for the contents of such an advertisement. If there is no newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district where the sale is to be held, existing law requires the advertisement to be posted 10 days before the sale in at least six conspicuous places near the place of the sale. (NRS 108.477) This bill revises those requirements concerning the advertising of sales of personal property to satisfy the lien of an owner of a facility for storage to instead require an owner to advertise the sale in a newspaper of general circulation at least one time in the week immediately preceding the date of the sale. If there is no newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district
