Any person who cleans, presses, glazes, launders, alters, or repairs any wearing
apparel or household goods shall have a lien on the article remaining in his
possession to secure the reasonable or agreed charge for the service. If the charge is
not paid within ninety (90) days, the article may be sold to pay the charges and costs
of notice, after notice has been given the customer of the time and place of sale.
The notice of time and place of sale, when given, shall be by registered letter mailed
to the last known address of the customer. The person sending the letter may do so
anytime after an article has been held for at least sixty (60) days, and the notice by
registered letter shall specify that the article may be sold unless it is redeemed
within thirty (30) days from the date of the letter.
Any article which is left with any person who cleans, presses, glazes, launders,
alters, or repairs any wearing apparel or other household goods and which is not
redeemed by the customer within one hundred eighty (180) days shall be considered
abandoned. It may, without any liability or responsibility for the article on the part
of the person holding it and without notification to the customer, be sold or
otherwise disposed of.
The foregoing provisions shall not apply to property that is to be placed in storage
with the person rendering any service mentioned above, but such property shall be
subject to the provisions of KRS 376.310.
