BILL NUMBER:S1007A
Title of bill
An act to amend the lien law, in relation to establishing a campground owner's lien
Purpose
Establishes a lien, for the benefit of a campground owner, on the recreational vehicle of a campground guest for unpaid charges to the campground.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- Creates a new section 181 of the lien law, which defines a campground, campground owner, guest, occupancy agreement and recreational vehicle. Further the bill provides for a lien against a recreational vehicle if a guest is in default in payment of occupancy fees and other charges for a period of 30 days. The campground owner is required to provide additional notice, served by certified mail, which advises that the guest is in default and his or her recreational vehicle will be removed from a campsite and that proceedings will be commenced to enforce a lien under article 9 of the lien law. The notice shall also provide the guest with notice to remove his or her personal property from the recreational vehicle prior to the time that it is sold pursuant to article 9. The lien provided for in this section is superior to any other lien or security interest.
Justification
In essence, a campground owner is no different than a garage keeper of self-service storage facility owner, who is entitled to a lien when a customer or occupant defaults under the terms of a storage contract or occupancy agreement. Campground owners are particularly susceptible when long-term guests fall behind in payments and abandon their recreational vehicles at the end of camping season. The remedies provided under the lien law are the only cost effective way for a campground owner to recoup his or her losses under these circumstances.
