MEMORANDUM

Posted:	March 7, 2013 09:55 AM
From:	Senator Robert D. Robbins
To:	All Senate members
Subject:	Self-Service Storage Facility Act

In the near future, I will be introducing legislation that addresses Pennsylvania's archaic lien laws for self storage facilities protecting both consumers and storage facility owners. These amendments to the "Self-Service Storage Facility Act" will revise the notice requirements relating to lien enforcement, address limitations on liability and allow modernization for both tenant notification and auction announcements. More specifically, the bill establishes provisions that: Allow for first class mail and email notifications to tenants Address the issue of access by a tenant if a tenant is in default of payment Address the issues of towing if property is vehicle or watercraft Address limitations of value of contents If you have questions regarding this legislation, please contact my office at 7-1322.
