HI HB2716

Authorizes self-storage facility owners to tow or remove motor vehicles or boats if an occupant defaults for 60 or more days, in lieu of a sale, with notice to the occupant including towing company details.

Owner is not liable for damage to property once it is towed or removed and in possession of a third party.

Allows owners to send default and lien notices to occupants by e-mail or first-class mail (in addition to existing methods) and allows notices to be sent to both a primary and alternative address if provided.

Permits owners to advertise property sales through any commercially reasonable method (including online websites) instead of requiring newspaper publication, provided at least three independent bidders participate.

Allows rental agreements to specify a monetary value limit on stored property as the maximum liability of the owner and permits reasonable late fees of $20 or 20% of monthly rent (whichever is greater) if included in the rental agreement.
