Kan. Stat. § 58-817a

Current through 2024 Session Acts Chapter 111 and 2024 Special Session Acts Chapter 4
Section 58-817a - [Sale of personal property by operator]
(a) If the occupant does not retrieve such occupant's personal property in the leased space for more than 45 days after the date of a notice of termination or non-renewal by the operator, the operator may sell the property as provided in subsection (b) without liability to any party. The notice of termination or non-renewal shall be prepared and delivered by the operator pursuant to the terms of the rental agreement to be effective.
(b) Prior to the sale of the personal property, the operator shall provide an additional notice to the occupant by first-class mail to the occupant's last known address stating that the operator may sell the personal property remaining in the leased space after a specified date unless the occupant removes such personal property. Such specified date shall be at least 45 days after the date of the notice of termination or non-renewal and at least 15 days after the date of the additional notice. If a notice of termination or non-renewal by the operator includes, in bold type, a statement that the operator may sell the personal property remaining in the leased space unless the occupant removes such property before a specified date at least 45 days after the date of the notice of termination or non-renewal, the operator shall not be required to provide such additional notice. If the operator has given written notice to the occupant by first-class mail or in the operator's notice of termination or non-renewal as provided by this subsection and the occupant has not removed the personal property by the specified date, the operator may sell the property. The operator may dispose of personal property that has no commercial value.
(c) Any proceeds remaining after the operator deducts rent, labor or other charges, and expenses reasonably incurred in the sale of the personal property shall be considered abandoned property to be reported and paid to the state treasurer in accordance with the uniform unclaimed property act.
(d) This section shall be a part of and supplemental to the self-service storage act.
