Lien question, sale or dispose?

In CT once a tenant reaches the Lien status, can the facility owner do as they wish with the unit contents? For example could the facility owner donate the unit contents or dispose of them instead of doing an auction sale?

I would think there is something about the money generated from the sale paying off a portion of the amount due - it is after all their stuff they could have sold if they could have gotten to it. Better tip toe on that one and check with legal.
With us, it goes to the dump. All of it. No impropriety of an employee taking something or us donating and taking the write off.

That is how it is here in NV... If a unit doesn't sell we can dispose of it the way we see fit, which usually means hiring a dumpster.... Ugh!5

@GM_SJ_BSS look into Storagetreasures.com. We no longer do on-site auctions. Too much trouble. Now it is sooo much easier.

Here is the link to your state Statues for Storage Facilities... https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_743.htm1

Thanks Shelley.......I've actually done liens and auctions when I worked for corporate storage for many years. The managers were actually the auctioneers for first few years, then corporate tried a live auctioneer, did not go well. So we began online auctions, so I'm familiar with the procedure was just unsure if a family owned storage company that doesn't want to deal with collections had the right when a tenant is in default by law, if they could just dispose of belongings instead of selling, again seeing how they at this point will not be using a collection agency. I was informed they must attempt to sell at least once, it doesn't get any bids, they than have the right to mark contents as having zero balance and can dispose of at that point.1

Orkocean Registered User, Daily Operations Certified, Advanced Operations Certified, Administrator Certified, myHub Certified ✭✭✭✭✭That would still be something you would need to read the state statutes for. For instance I just had to read the Oregon statutes for the property we got here and they have a section specifically regarding how they have to be disposed of.
Doesn't apply to you as you said yours would want to donate them but just bringing it up in the aspect of some states do have items regarding the process in their statutes.
For Oregon they specifically mention how none of the items can ever become in the possession of the owners, employees, or even friends of anyone dealing with the site if they're just disposed of. And in the owners opinion of the items are worth less than $300 they can be disposed of without a sale needed.0 -
