HRS §507-64

Notice of lien before removing stored property

If a storage renter hasn't paid after a required notice, the owner can lock them out and move their things to a safe place. But first, the owner must send a lien notice by email and mail, telling the renter the lien amount and that the property will be taken after a set date.
