The lien law is your single most powerful tool as a self-storage owner. This is the clause that gives you the superpower of non-judicial foreclosure. It lets you seize and sell a tenant's goods to recoup any unpaid rent without ever stepping foot inside a courtroom. But this power comes with a strict requirement. Your lease must specifically cite the exact state Statute for self-storage liens. I'm gonna say it again. The exact state, like as in the state of Pennsylvania, your your states is a better way to say it.
