Warehouse Liens

A warehouse lien is a legal claim that a warehouse operator has over goods stored in their facility. If a customer fails to pay for storage fees or other agreed charges, the warehouse can hold, sell, or dispose of the goods to recover the debt. This lien protects the warehouse's right to be paid for its services while ensuring that customers are aware of the potential consequence of non-payment. The process often involves notifying the owner before taking action, following specific legal procedures.
