What must I do to abandon my storage unit with a family member's property in unit?
My daughter and her husband were forced to leave their rental and subsequently moved in with me and my husband. I rented a storage unit for them to put the majority if their household belongings in during their stay with us. I have nothing of mine in the unit and they continue to delay moving their belongings out of the unit. I was forced to pay another month's storage because my daughter said that I allowed them to put their things there and I would be liable if I let the storage unit go abandoned. Is this true and what are my options?

As I say, it is an open question whether a UCC lien would remain perfected after the removal of the chattels to a self-storage facility and co-mingling with other chattels. |

Ahh I understand what you are getting at. In case of default the storage space might be required to inform anyone who has registered interest in the property of a pending sale. But I doubt if the storage company has any requirement to find out who the owners are.
So, the way I see it the daughter has to show the storage space that she owns the contents, but that would only require the storage space to inform her of a pending sale. So what the OP does is hand the daughter the next bill and the key and tell her to pay the bill. |
