It looks like we may be managing a site down in California soon, so I'm trying to help make sense of the lien laws down there. I think I have the basic idea, and will post what I think the timeline is. If anyone can confirm this, I would greatly appreciate it. Corrections are also fantastic.
So, as I understand it, this is the timeline:
Day 1 - Rent is due
Day 12 - Late fee applied
Day 15 (14 days w/out payment) - Preliminary lien notice, giving 14 days from the day the notice is sent or lose access to the unit. The law makes it sound as if there is still no legal overlock or restricting of gate hours at this point. Very different from Oregon.
Day 29 (14 days after Preliminary lien notice) - Notice of Lien Sale. At this point, the facility may restrict gate access, cut the lock and inventory the contents and/or overlock the unit.
Day 30-37 - Run first auction notice in the paper
Day 38-45 - Run second auction notice in the paper
Day 52 - Auction
I've read the law several times and found a few posts here on the forums, but the laws seem pretty vague and the posts several years old. Thanks again to anyone who can offer advice or corrections!
