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.
