Chapter 72 - Warehouse Receipts: Special Provisions
Section 7206 - Termination of storage at warehouse's option

     § 7206.  Termination of storage at warehouse's option.
        (a)  Payment and removal.--A warehouse, by giving notice to
     the person on whose account the goods are held and any other
     person known to claim an interest in the goods, may require
     payment of any charges and removal of the goods from the
     warehouse at the termination of the period of storage fixed by
     the document of title or, if a period is not fixed, within a
     stated period not less than 30 days after the warehouse gives
     notice. If the goods are not removed before the date specified
     in the notice, the warehouse may sell them pursuant to section
     7210 (relating to enforcement of warehouse's lien).
        (b)  Perishable goods.--If a warehouse in good faith believes
     that goods are about to deteriorate or decline in value to less
     than the amount of its lien within the time provided in
     subsection (a) and section 7210, the warehouse may specify in
     the notice given under subsection (a) any reasonable shorter
     time for removal of the goods and, if the goods are not removed,
     may sell them at public sale held not less than one week after a
     single advertisement or posting.
        (c)  Hazardous goods.--If, as a result of a quality or
     condition of the goods of which the warehouse did not have
     notice at the time of deposit, the goods are a hazard to other
     property, the warehouse facilities or other persons, the
     warehouse may sell the goods at public or private sale without
     advertisement or posting on reasonable notification to all
     persons known to claim an interest in the goods. If the
     warehouse, after a reasonable effort, is unable to sell the
     goods, it may dispose of them in any lawful manner and does not
     incur liability by reason of that disposition.
        (d)  Demand.--A warehouse shall deliver the goods to any
     person entitled to them under this division upon due demand made
     at any time before sale or other disposition under this section.
        (e)  Lien satisfaction.--A warehouse may satisfy its lien
     from the proceeds of any sale or disposition under this section
     but shall hold the balance for delivery on the demand of any
     person to which the warehouse would have been bound to deliver
     the goods.
