AB 498: Self-service storage facilities: lien notices: email.

The bill aims to amend a section of the business and professions code related to self-service storage facilities. It makes a change to the way lien notices are sent and received. The bill allows a self-storage facility owner to demonstrate actual delivery and receipt of a lien notice by delivering the document to the occupant's email address, rather than the owner's secure internet website. The occupant's receipt of the document is confirmed by evidence that they downloaded, printed, viewed, or opened the document. This change provides a simpler and more direct method for owners to send lien notices and for occupant's to receive them.
