§4684. Satisfaction of privilege; procedure; sale
Whenever any carpets or rugs are left for cleaning and storage until delivery, with any person engaged in the business of cleaning carpets and rugs, and the charges which have accrued thereon are due and unpaid for a period of six months, the person in whose custody the rugs or carpets are deposited for cleaning and storage, may satisfy the privilege as follows: By giving written notice to the person on whose account the goods are held, either by delivery in person or by registered letter addressed to his last known place of business or residence. This notice shall contain:
(1) An itemized statement of the claim, showing the sum due at the time of the notice and the date or dates when it became due.
(2) A demand, that the amount of the claim as stated in the notice, and of such further claim as shall accrue shall be paid on or before a day mentioned, not less than ten days from the delivery of the notice if it is personally delivered, or from the time when the notice should reach its destination according to the due course of the mails, if the notice is sent by mail.
(3) A statement that unless the claim is paid within the time specified, the goods will be sold.
In accordance with the terms of the notice, the goods may then be sold to satisfy any valid claim for which there may be a privilege, either at private sale or public auction, at the option of the privilege holder, without appraisement, and without limit or reserve.
If the sale should be at public auction, it may be cried by the privilege holder.
