Nevada § 104.7209 - Lien of warehouse
Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 104.7209 — Lien of warehouse, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 104.7209. Lien of warehouse
1. A warehouse has a lien against the bailor on the goods covered by a warehouse receipt
or storage agreement or on the proceeds thereof in its possession for charges for
storage or transportation, including demurrage and terminal charges, insurance, labor
or other charges, present or future, in relation to the goods, and for expenses necessary
for preservation of the goods or reasonably incurred in their sale pursuant to law. If the person on whose account the goods are held is liable for similar charges
or expenses in relation to other goods whenever deposited and it is stated in the
warehouse receipt or storage agreement that a lien is claimed for charges and expenses
in relation to other goods, the warehouse also has a lien against the goods covered
by the warehouse receipt or storage agreement or on the proceeds thereof in its possession
for those charges and expenses, whether or not the other goods have been delivered
by the warehouse. However, as against a person to whom a negotiable warehouse receipt is duly negotiated,
a warehouse's lien is limited to charges in an amount or at a rate specified in the
warehouse receipt or, if no charges are so specified, to a reasonable charge for storage
of the specific goods covered by the receipt subsequent to the date of the receipt. 2. A warehouse may also reserve a security interest against the bailor for the maximum
amount specified on the receipt for charges other than those specified in subsection
1, such as for money advanced and interest. The security interest is governed by Article 9. 3. A warehouse's lien for charges and expenses under subsection 1 or a security interest
under subsection 2 is also effective against any person that so entrusted the bailor
with possession of the goods that a pledge of them by the bailor to a good-faith purchaser
for value would have been valid. However, the lien or security interest is not effective against a person that before
issuance of a document of title had a legal interest or a perfected security interest
in the goods and that did not: (a) Deliver or entrust the goods or any document of title covering the goods to the
bailor or the bailor's nominee with: (1) Actual or apparent authority to ship, store or sell; (2) Power to obtain delivery under NRS 104.7403 ; or (3) Power of disposition under NRS 104.2403 , 104.9320, subsection 3 of NRS 104.9321, subsection 2 of NRS 104A.2304 or subsection 2 of NRS 104A.2305 , or other statute or rule of law; or (b) Acquiesce in the procurement by the bailor or its nominee of any document. 4. A warehouse's lien on household goods for charges and expenses in relation to the
goods under subsection 1 is also effective against all persons if the depositor was
the legal possessor of the goods at the time of deposit. In this subsection, “ household goods ” means furniture, furnishings or personal effects used by the depositor in a dwelling. 5. A warehouse loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or unjustifiably
refuses to deliver.
