§ 12a:7-206.
a. 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 12A:7-210. b. 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. of this section and 12A:7-210, the warehouse may specify in the notice given under
subsection a. of this section 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. 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. A warehouse shall deliver the goods to any person entitled to them under this Chapter
upon due demand made at any time before sale or other disposition under this section. e. 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.
