HI SB288

Authorizes self-service storage facility owners to tow motor vehicles and boats after 60 or more days of delinquency, provided owners give 15 days' advance notice via certified mail and electronic mail with towing company details.

Requires facility owners to send default and lien notices to occupants via both electronic mail and postal mail at their last known addresses, modernizing communication requirements from 1984 law.

Allows owners to publish sale notices through commercially reasonable methods including online websites, rather than requiring newspaper publication, provided at least three independent bidders participate in alternative sales methods.

Permits contracts to include value limitations on stored property if stated in bold or underlined text, with minimum $1,000 limits and occupant option to increase limits with owner approval.

Requires facility owners to notify all current occupants of these statutory changes and update rental agreements with occupant initials prior to implementation.
