§ 5322.02.
(A) The owner of a self-service storage facility has a lien against the occupant on the
personal property stored pursuant to a rental agreement in any storage space at the
self-service storage facility, or on the proceeds of the personal property subject
to the defaulting occupant's rental agreement in the owner's possession, for rent,
labor, late fees, or other charges in relation to the personal property that are specified
in the rental agreement and that have become due and for expenses necessary for the
preservation of the personal property or expenses reasonably incurred in the enforcement
of the lien or in the sale or other disposition of the personal property pursuant
to law. The owner's lien provided for in this section is also effective against the following
persons: (1) A person who has an unfiled security interest in the personal property, except that
the owner's lien is not effective against a person who has a valid security interest
in a motor vehicle or a valid security interest in a watercraft, whether or not the
security interest in the motor vehicle or watercraft is filed; (2) A person who meets both of the following requirements: (a) The person has a legal interest in the personal property, a filed security interest
in the personal property, or a valid security interest in the personal property that
is a motor vehicle. (b) The person consents in writing to the storage of the personal property. (B) The owner's lien created by division (A) of this section attaches as of the date
the personal property is brought to the self-service storage facility. An owner loses the owner's lien on any personal property that the owner voluntarily
permits to be removed from the self-service storage facility or unjustifiably refuses
to permit to be removed from the self-service storage facility.
