FL H0357

Lien sales on self-service storage facilities may be conducted on public websites that customarily conduct personal property auctions, and facility owners are not required to hold a license to post property for online sale.

If a rental agreement limits the value of stored property, that limit is deemed the maximum value of property in the storage space.

Motor vehicles or watercraft with unpaid rent and charges for 60+ days may be sold by the facility owner or towed, with the facility owner bearing no liability once a wrecker takes possession if towing is chosen.

Facility owners may charge tenants a reasonable late fee of $20 or 20 percent of monthly rent (whichever is greater) for unpaid rent, plus reasonable expenses incurred for rent collection or lien enforcement.

Amended section 713.78 to clarify that landlords may have vehicles or vessels towed in compliance with section 83.806, with wreckers charging reasonable towing and storage fees (except no storage fee for vehicles stored less than 6 hours).
