My little forum on portable storage
Lien is a right in law of the custodian of goods who can detain them in the case of non payment of his charges. In the traditional warehouses, the master of the facility had the right to enter the storage house any time he liked. On the other hand, in storage facility the tenant is the sole authorized person to enter the unit at his disposal. The facility running the self storage never takes any responsibility of the possession, custody, responsibility of the goods in storage. However, it depends from one legal jurisdiction to other as to what can be the liability of the self storage operator in cases where the unit is used for illegal purpose.
