§486K-2  Hotelkeeper's lien on baggage,
etc., of guests; summary ejectment of delinquents.  All hotelkeepers shall
have a lien on all baggage and other property in the possession of the hotel
belonging to guests at the hotel, for the amount of their proper charges
against guests for the hire of rooms or board or other services or
accommodation in the hotel, and shall have the right, without the process of
law, to retain the same until the amount of indebtedness is discharged.  All
parties indebted for rooms or board in the hotel may be summarily ejected by
the keeper thereof from the premises upon the keeper giving to the parties so
indebted a written notice of the amount of indebtedness and the keeper's demand
for the same, unless the parties shall have entered into an agreement with the
keeper for a mode and manner of payment for room or board other than that
announced by notice in the hotel, the right of summary ejectment to be without
prejudice to the lien on the guest's baggage or other property. [L 1978, c 234,
pt of §3; gen ch 1985; am L 2008, c 19, §63]
