When any part of the rent or other charges due
from an occupant remains unpaid for fourteen consecutive days, an
owner may terminate the right of the occupant to the use of the
storage space at a self-service storage facility by sending a
preliminary lien notice to the occupant's last known address, and
to the alternative address specified in RCW 19.150.120(2), by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, containing all of the
following:
(1) An itemized statement of the owner's claim showing the
sums due at the time of the notice and the date when the sums
become due.
(2) A statement that the occupant's right to use the storage
space will terminate on a specified date (not less than fourteen
days after the mailing of the notice) unless all sums due and to
become due by that date are paid by the occupant prior to the
specified date.
(3) A notice that the occupant may be denied or continue to
be denied, as the case may be, access to the storage space after
the termination date if the sums are not paid, and that an
owner's lien, as provided for in RCW 19.150.020 may be imposed
thereafter.
(4) The name, street address, and telephone number of the
owner, or his or her designated agent, whom the occupant may
contact to respond to the notice.
