Canyon Development Co., Inc. v. Holcum Storage, [Ms. 2110541, Aug. 10, 2012] ___ So. 3d ___ (Ala. Civ. App. 2012). This
opinion interprets for the first time "the Alabama Self-Service Storage
Act, Ala. Code 1975 ¤¤ 8-15-32 to 38." After Canyon
Development went into default on its payments for two storage units, Holcum
Storage sold the property in the units. It did not follow the provisions
of ¤ 8-15-34, but the Court of Civil Appeals holds that these are
not mandatory statutory-lien requirements. Because the contract gave Holcum
Storage a contractual lien that did not require it to follow the notice
and other provisions in the statute, "Holcum Storage did not breach
the terms of the rental agreement."
