HRS §507-62

Storage facility owner's right to hold property for unpaid bills

This section gives the owner of a self-service storage facility a legal claim (lien) on all personal property stored there to cover rent, labor, or other charges from the rental agreement, plus costs to preserve or sell the property. The owner can enforce this claim as allowed by law. If a motor vehicle or boat has a lien already noted on its title, that earlier lien comes first.

The statute, as written — Owner's lien

The owner of a self-service storage facility and the owner's heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns have a lien upon all personal property located at a self-service storage facility for rent, labor, or other charges, present or future, incurred pursuant to the rental agreement, and for expenses necessary for the preservation, sale, or disposition of personal property subject to the provisions of this part. The lien may be enforced consistent with this part. However, any lien on a motor vehicle or boat which has attached and is set forth in the documents of title to the motor vehicle or boat shall have priority over any lien created pursuant to this part.
