When The Storage Unit Is Sold
Idaho Code § 55-2306 — sixty days in default, a notice, ten days to pay, and the surplus back
Sixty days in default. A storage operator may sell what is stored to satisfy its lien only after the renter has been in default continuously for sixty days.
- The name, address and telephone number of whoever claims the lien.
- An itemized statement of what is owed and when it became due.
- A demand for payment within a stated time, not less than ten days after the notice is sent.
- When and where the goods will be sold if the claim is not paid.
- A general description of the goods, and that access may be denied until the lien is paid.
Pay before the sale. At any time before the sale, or before a vehicle is towed, the renter or anyone else may pay the lien, with the documented costs of enforcing it, and take the property out.
The proceeds pay the lien and costs. Anything left over is paid to the renter, or to someone the renter authorized in writing.
The notice goes by certified mail or as the rental agreement provides. A particular sale is a question for a licensed Idaho attorney.
